TAMILNADU STATE COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
(Autonomous body of Government of Tamilnadu)
DOTE Campus, Chennai – 600 025
PROGRAMME FOR BRIDGING THE GAP IN RESEARCH FUNDING FOR
RESEARCH SCHOLARS IN COLLEGES (RFRS)
This scheme is to benefit research students at college level to do research on their new ideas and fill the gap in research funding. The number of Higher Educational and research institutions of our state is growing every year but the research funding is not available to research scholars in many of these institutions. If the gap in research funding is addressed, it will pave way for many innovative ideas to be tested and it would yield not only research data but also improvement and development of Scientific manpower. Particularly, colleges and institutions set up in rural areas are in a disadvantage when compared to universities which are able to attract many project funding through various schemes of central funding agencies. Therefore, research proposals are invited from research scholars doing their research work in the colleges of our state.
This is a unique programme wherein the selected research scholars of our State colleges are provided with not only research funding but also an opportunity to carry out socially relevant studies, so that they make meaningful contribution to our society.
