7th Edition: Biomedical Sciences Research Grant in India

The Sree Padmavathi Venkateswara Foundation (SreePVF) is a forward-looking philanthropic institution committed to fostering transformative change through science and technology. Since its establishment, the Foundation has actively supported initiatives that contribute to national development, with a particular emphasis on healthcare, education, and scientific advancement. In 2020, SreePVF restructured its biomedical research grant program to concentrate on “bench to bedside” translational research. This strategic shift underscores the Foundation’s intent to bridge the gap between fundamental scientific discoveries and their real-world applications in clinical settings. By investing in translational projects, SreePVF seeks to accelerate innovations that can directly enhance patient care, public health, and medical knowledge. The Foundation promotes a research ecosystem where collaboration, novelty, and measurable impact are central. Its approach emphasizes support for bold ideas backed by qualified individuals and credible institutions. Through this grant initiative, SreePVF continues to position itself as a catalyst in India’s biomedical landscape, nurturing projects that can create scalable, ready-to-deploy solutions. In addition to financial support, the Foundation promotes meaningful partnerships and collaborations across academic institutions, research centers, and medical organizations, including those with international scope. With a focus on quality, impact, and feasibility, SreePVF remains steadfast in its mission to support projects with tangible health outcomes.

The 7th Edition of the Biomedical Sciences Research Grant by the Sree Padmavathi Venkateswara Foundation is designed to support high-impact, translational research projects in India. The focus is on “bench to bedside” initiatives that bridge laboratory discoveries with clinical applications, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing public health. This edition emphasizes funding for innovative proposals from not-for-profit research institutions across the country, including universities, R&D centers, and medical institutions. The grant supports one major project that shows strong potential to deliver a measurable, positive impact on human health.

Applicants are expected to submit proposals that demonstrate scientific rigor, feasibility, and novelty. Research must aim to create solutions that can be effectively deployed in healthcare settings within a foreseeable timeframe. The Foundation prioritizes projects with translational value, where research findings are likely to benefit human health in a practical and timely manner. Proposals should reflect ambition, innovation, and the ability to deliver scalable health interventions.

This grant provides both financial assistance and recognition, encouraging researchers to think big and collaborate across disciplines. While international collaborations are welcome, the lead institution must be based in India. The initiative reflects SreePVF’s long-term commitment to fostering sustainable healthcare advancements through research excellence.
