SERB Call For Proposal – Chemical Science & Chemical Technology
SERB has been promoting and supporting new ventures under its flagship programs
such as CRG, SRG, IRHPA, SUPRA, etc. in the areas of Science and Technology
ecosystem growth. Additionally, to support areas that require immediate scientific
intervention & attention (e.g., COVID related R&D) and thrust fields of scientific
research which is meant to address the key scientific gaps in the specific discipline
or to provide a better technological solution to a particular problem, proposals are
invited through the special calls from time to time.
In line with the above, SERB announces special calls on the following areas:
Reagentless Organic Synthesis:
Interdisciplinarity: Chemical Science and Chemical Technology/ Pharmaceuticals
It is desired to achieve maximum atom economy through ‘clean’ chemical reactions
with minimal waste generation to avoid adverse environmental impact. One of the
best approaches for reducing unwanted and wasteful materials emerging from a
reaction or chemical technology process would be where the reactions could be
achieved by the application of heat, light, sound or using electrolysis, leading to
development of sustainable technologies. This call will look for disruptive
developments in reagentless enabling strategies for synthetic applications both at lab
and kilo
potential applications in frontier areas.
Selective Fluorination Strategies:
Interdisciplinarity: Chemical Science and Pharmaceuticals/Fine Chemicals
Many commercially successful chemicals ascribe their biological activity and metabolic
stability to the presence of strategically placed fluorine atoms in their structures.
Despite the advances, the preparation of much fluorinated pharmaceutical building
blocks and active agrochemical intermediates remains a significant challenge. This
special call will support the development of benign fluorination strategies for diverse
organic substrates and amides, including late-stage fluorination.
Duration: The typical duration of projects under these special will be of 3 years and a component
of grant will be similar to CRG projects supported by SERB.
The PI(s) who are having an ongoing SUPRA or IRPHA project are not eligible to apply under these special calls.
However, other eligibility conditions as applicable to the CRG projects will be followed.
Proposals should be submitted in the prescribed format through the SERB online portal:
