The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) convened a high-level Brainstorming Meeting today at the CSIR Science Centre, New Delhi, to strengthen ongoing collaborations and outline a forward-looking, integrated roadmap for joint health research.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The meeting was co-chaired by Dr. N. Kalaiselvi, Director General, CSIR and Secretary, DSIR, and Dr. Rajiv Bahl, Director General, ICMR and Secretary, Department of Health Research. Directors of several CSIR and ICMR laboratories, along with senior officials from both organisations, participated in the discussions.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During the deliberations, the two organisations reviewed the progress of major ongoing collaborative initiatives, including CSIR molecules moving into clinical trials, the status of ICMR-supported Centres of Advanced Research in CSIR laboratories, and the implementation of big-ticket projects. The need to continue and expand wastewater surveillance for multiple pathogens across cities, hospitals, and communities was highlighted, with a consensus to strengthen joint efforts through the One Health Mission.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Both sides also discussed the respective roles and responsibilities of CSIR and ICMR in the development of novel molecules and drugs, including systematic clinical trials and the use of ICMR\u2019s large-animal toxicity testing facilities.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The AcSIR\u2013ICMR Ph.D. programme was reviewed, with an emphasis on expanding opportunities for young researchers, including the integration of ICMR fellowships alongside CSIR fellowships.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Kalaiselvi and Dr. Rajiv Bahl underscored the importance of converging CSIR\u2019s scientific and technological strengths with ICMR\u2019s public health mandate to achieve high-impact national outcomes. They highlighted the need for time-bound progress, enhanced coordination, and structured mechanisms for co-development of technologies\u2014including a jointly planned, digitally controlled medical emergency drone service.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to intensify collaboration, streamline joint project development, and expand engagement across emerging domains such as biomedical science, diagnostics, digital health, and environmental health surveillance.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
