support to strengthening cooperation with and capacity of the India
Council of Medical Research (ICMR) institutions to prevent avoidable
epidemics, early detection of disease threats, and rapid and effective
response.
India Council of Medical Research is in a unique position to
conduct this work, as it was originally established as an apex body for
the formulation, coordination, and promotion of biomedical research in
India, and has taken up most of the laboratory-based surveillance of
infectious diseases in recent years. Eligibility for funding is limited
to the ICMR, New Delhi and ICMR institutions including the National
Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune and the National Institute of
Epidemiology (NIE), Chennai. ICMR is the apex governing body for the
numerous national level institutes which are centres for excellence and
reference in specific scientific area for India, namely National
Institute of Virology, National Institute of Epidemiology, and several
others. These institutions are mandated by the Ministry of Health of
Family Health and Welfare (MoHFW) to provide oversight for laboratory
confirmation of priority pathogens in India in a tiered manner as well
as collate and analyze surveillance data for public health actions and
work closely with the state governments where these institutes are
located.
