There is a perception that the ICMR is bureaucratic and lacks transparency in decision-making on the proposals it receives: Researcher

Poor response has hit efforts by India’s apex health research agency to enhance the country’s pool of medical researchers through fellowship training programmes and to bring back Indian researchers from abroad, a Parliamentary panel has noted.

The Parliamentary standing committee on health has expressed concern that the Indian Council of Medical Research has under-utilised its allocated funds for human resource development in health research due to lack of sufficient proposals.

The panel, in a report analysing the ICMR’s funding patterns and utilisation, has also observed that its efforts to encourage Indian health researchers abroad has “paid little dividends” with only 10 researchers availing the offer over the past nine years.

“The department must analyse the scheme and find out why it has so few takers,” the committee said, urging the department of health research — ICMR’s parent agency — to create a conducive environment and offer lucrative prospects to Indian researchers abroad.

The ICMR’s human resource development scheme is aimed at enhancing the country’s pool of medical researchers by upgrading skills of medical college faculty, mid-career scientists, and medical students through fellowships and training.

The ICMR offers multiple fellowship programmes — for women, for young scientists, short-term and long-term fellowships for training within and outside India, among others.

But each year over the past three years, the ICMR has for its human resource development initiative used up lower than its allocated amounts even though the allocated amounts were themselves lower than the projected demand.
