Research
- Funded Projects
- Publications
- Patents
Funding is the act of providing financial resources, usually in the form of money, or other values such as effort or time, to finance a need, program, and project, usually by an organization or company. ... Sources of funding include credit, venture capital, donations, grants, savings, subsidies, and taxes.The Indian Council of Medical Research provides various funding and assistance to promote health projects across the country.The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) provides financial assistance to promote research work in the fields of medicine, public health and allied areas under its Extramural Research Programme.
Writing is the most important means for communicating scientific work. Research and publication complement teaching and training, clinical care, and public health works.
Publications can also be regarded as an asset that enables authors to gain recognition and acknowledgement as experts in a particular field at national and international levels. Publication in peer-reviewed journals also gives international recognition for an individual, department, university, and institutions. In some cases where a topic of major global importance is included in a publication, the author's country, and even the region, may also get a greater recognition.
Implementing research and publishing results is crucial for a career in sciences. Doing research is only half of the picture. If the results of research studies or program documentations are not published- and where they are published has an important impact also- other researchers cannot appreciate the value of the evidence generated, they cannot see the evidence or further build on it, and overall science cannot develop and grow.
Intellectual Property (IP) is the area of law that seeks to protect the creations of the human mind. It is a legal construction that comes from the right of ownership, to give exclusivity of use to the market of the intellectually-created assets.PR is a legal right given to creator or innovator of an intellectual property; whereas, intellectual property is the results of human mind (intellect) creation which is sometimes intangible. One of the IPR protection forms is patent. A patent is an exclusive legal right granted to the owner of an invention in a specified territory for a period of 20 years. The law of patents is a legal framework that establishes a patent system which supports and encourages technological innovation and promotes economic development.
