BIRAC (Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council) is a Section 8 'Not-for-profit Company' under the Companies Act, 2013 set up by Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science & Technology, and Government of India as an interface agency to promote industry-academia partnerships in the field of Biotechnology. BIRAC over the last five years has initiated several schemes, networks and platforms that help to bridge the existing gaps in the industry –academia innovation research and facilitate novel, high quality, affordable product development through cutting edge technologies.

BIRAC plans to launch BIRAC Innovation Challenge Award which will be a competition that will bring solutions and breakthroughs to a problem that is currently intractable. This award will help solve the problem in a defined time frame and develop an affordable product/solution which is of global excellence. The envisioned areas for the Challenge draw upon the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as Good Health and Sanitation. The indicative areas for suggesting themes for BIRAC Innovation Challenge Award are:

Health: Foster healthy lives and promote well-being of society through development of products especially in medical technology (Devices and diagnostics) which can alleviate healthcare challenges in India. Indications are: reduce maternal and neonatal mortality, end the epidemics of communicable diseases.

Sanitation: Ensures that communities have access to equitable sanitation & hygiene for all and end open defecation.

We invite you to please suggest themes based on the above mentioned areas under which we can launch a challenge to develop functional prototypes leading to globally excellent products & solutions which will render an affordable, faster and impactful solution to critical issues.

Last date of submission is 15th August, 2017

"New techniques to cure aspiration pneumonia , like nano tubular cleaning of infection in upper lungs and trachea "

Plzz do some thing to treat Aspiration pneumonia , at present in india we have so many stupid arrogant nurses who do suction to take away phlegm , and in the process the vagus nerve gets triggered leading to cardiac arrest , and also lower o2 saturation

Hence we need safer techniques to save patients from underqualified lower IQ irresponsible staff in hospitals ,nurses who behave cruelly to the older patients which leads them to severe trauma like cardiac arrest

It will be better if more research is done on the following

1) Delirium
2) Aspiration pneumonia
3) Septicemia
4) MODS ( Multi organ dysfunction)
We need more biotechnology development in the above mentioned problems

Bio-printing: This biomedical technology is going make a great change in our lives, from treating deformed body parts (Nose, ear, Lips, etc) to treat accidental wounds for skin, infections and burns etc. would also revolutionize organ transplant from cartilage, liver, skin (this may help acid attack victims).
BIRAC could organize free workshop, issue funding for students, scientists, not for profit organizations and start up to work in area of bioprinting for healthier future of India.

India has a rich heritage of medicinal plants albeit there is an enough scope for us in harnessing our own natural resources for revenue generation and welfare of the society by drug discovery programme from indigenous medicinal plants. The major challenge is standardization of pharmaceutical quality and biomarkers assisted quality control of medicinal plant products(drugs and cosmetics) to enhance their commercialization in India and Western countries.Research in this area may be encouraged.
