INTRODUCTION
I. The development in Ocean Science & Technology is linked with achievements in other scientific and technological areas. The research efforts should lead to fundamental understanding and ensure predictive capabilities. An important component of the development programme is technology. To be self reliant such technologies would have to be largely developed, tested and operated indigenously. Several new technologies will have to be commercialized and made cost effective. Creation of self reliant technological base puts a heavy demand on fully trained personnel and creation of infrastructure and facilities which has to be properly planned. Recognizing the above, the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) has reoriented Ocean Research & Manpower Development Programs and nine Ocean Science and Technology Cells have been set up at Universities/IIT with a view to create Centres of Excellence.
II. OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMS:
(a) To encourage research in newly emerging and front-line areas of Marine Geology and Geophysics, Marine Ecology, Marine Biology, Marine Microbiology, Marine coastal Culture, Marine Benthos, Beach Placers, Ocean Engineering Under Water Robotics.
(b) To encourage Research Organizations, Institutions, I.I.T.s, Universities to undertake projects with industrial tie-ups.
© To generate reliable data and information System.
(d) To strengthen / create infrastructure facilities in Universities / Institutions / Organizations to generate manpower in the fields of Marine Science and Technology.
III. FORMATS:
This document provides formats and guidelines for preparation and submission of project proposal for financial support under Marine Research And Manpower Development Programmes of MoES. It consists of following parts :
I. Project Proposal Proforma For Marine Research in the areas of
Applications, and Basic Science (Section -A).
II. Proforma For Marine Manpower Development programs (Section -B)
III. Guidelines For Submission or Project Proposals (Section - C)
Note: In case of Marine Research Project proposals, Section-B need not be
completed whereas for Manpower Development programmes, no need of Section-A.
IV. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS & ENOUIRY:
The Copies of the proposal with all documents must be sent to the Research Coordinator, Ocean Science and Technology Cell for the respective area of specialisation as provided in Annexure I with a copy to Director, Ocean Research & Manpower Development Programme, Government of India, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Block 12, CGO Complex, Lodi Road, New Delhi 110003 (Telephone: 011-24360865 / 243642278/ 24364182 Fax: 011-24360336 / 24360779).
The Research Coordinator will duly acknowledge the receipt of the Project Proposal within one month. However, in case of non receipt of acknowledgments within six weeks of submission, the information may be obtained from the Director, MoES by giving the project title, Principal Investigator’s name etc. The enquiries regarding the status of the project can be made from the Ocean Science and Technology Cell only after six months from the date of number given by OSTC along with the Project Title.
