SERB is coming up with restructured time bound mechanism for submission of proposals, evaluation of proposals and release of grant under EMR schemes. Now, Principal Investigators (PIs) would be able to submit research proposals under EMR schemes only against the call for proposals instead of submission throughout the year. The call for submission of proposals will be made twice in a year. The call will be announced on the website of SERB. Proposals can be submitted through online portal against the call only.
