National Health Research Programme

ICMR proposed the establishment of a National Health Research Programme, initially outlining research related to ten disease conditions. Following extensive deliberations, the research priorities were expanded to encompass eleven critical disease conditions:

 
  • 1. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
  • 2. One Health
  • 3. Tuberculosis
  • 4. Vector-borne Diseases
  • 5. Cancer
  • 6. Ambulatory Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Care,
  • 7. Mental Health
  • 8. Anemia, Stunting and Wasting
  • 9. Neonatal Mortality
  • 10. Acute Emergency Care
  • 11. Oral Health

Under these areas, large decisive multi-state projects will receive funding, with a strong emphasis on addressing programme needs. Approval was granted to undertake the National Health Research Program, encompassing these eleven specified disease conditions. Furthermore, a proposal to initiate up to 33 projects, with funding of up to 25 crores for each project, through a call for proposals, was agreed upon.
