ic-impacts & dbt: creating wealth from waste
eligibility:
- all canadian researchers eligible to receive funding from ic-impacts and tri-council agencies in canada are eligible to apply as principal investigators from canada along with an eligible indian principal investigator.
- all indian researchers generally eligible to apply for dbt funding opportunities are eligible to apply as principal investigators from india
how to apply:
background
according to the world health organization (who), the global pressures of population growth, urbanization, water shortages, and climate change impacts are increasing the agricultural demands for treated waste as a steady source of water and nutrients.[1] in addition, freshwater, nutrients, energy, and chemical compounds recovered from treated waste have found application in areas such as irrigation, horticulture, forestry, and industrial water supply. further research is underway to explore mining waste for other valuable components that could be reused and recovered in other industries.
collaborations between academia, government, and industry to recover water, nutrients, energy, and valuable chemicals from waste have the potential to yield commercial successes and be scaled up to global markets.
proposals
ic-impacts and the department of biotechnology (dbt) invite researchers to submit proposals for projects that can be completed in two years (or less) and that focus on extracting wealth from waste.
your proposal should offer biotechnology-driven research-based solutions, and reflect cost and space efficiencies required for deployment in cities such as delhi, kanpur, and varanasi, or in locations with similar geographies.
central to the successful proposal will be demonstrating a scalable technology that can be developed as a commercially viable option to extract wealth from wastewater and be applicable to rejuvenating polluted bodies of water such as the river ganga in india.
your proposal must reflect the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in order to increase equity and enhance research excellence. ic-impacts is committed to the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, adopted from nserc’s statement on equity, diversity and excellence in natural sciences and engineering research.

defense health program: department of defense military burn research program
how to apply:
the fy19 defense appropriation provides $8 million (m) to the department of defense military burn research program (mbrp) to support a broad research portfolio in the treatment of burns and the trauma associated with burn injuries sustained during combat or combat-related activities. the managing agent for the anticipated program announcements/funding opportunities is the congressionally directed medical research programs (cdmrp) at the u.s. army medical research and materiel command (usamrmc).
the overarching goal for the fy19 mbrp is to support the development or refinement of interventions or technologies that will enable non-medical or medical first responders to provide appropriate burn care closer to the point of injury to enhance the potential for better long-term outcomes. the mbrp anticipates that outcomes of successful applications will lead to near-term interventions, products, or care guidelines that will assist fellow service members, first responders, and/or civilians in the pre-hospital care of the severe burn casualty.
the fy19 mbrp is soliciting research applications towards this goal that specifically address burn wound conversion prevention, non-surgical burn wound debridement strategies, and/or temporary coverage products.
