About Empowering Youth for Undertaking Value Added Innovative Translational Research E-YUVA

E-YUVA scheme is mandated to promote a culture of applied research and need-oriented (societal or industry) entrepreneurial innovation among young students and researchers. The scheme provides funding support (through fellowship and research grant), technical and business mentoring, exposure to bioincubation model, orientation to entrepreneurial culture etc. to students at various levels including undergraduates, post-graduates and post-doctoral.

This BIRAC’s scheme is implemented through dedicated hubs called E-YUVA Centers (EYCs) housed within the University/Institute set up and mentored by a BIRAC BioNEST supported bio-incubator. EYCs act as anchors and extend requisite support and mentoring to students. Each EYC has a BIRAC supported pre-incubation space which offers infrastructure and equipment for basic research and experimentation by selected students. Advanced research needs are fulfilled through bio-incubator connect.

The scheme provides support under following two categories:

* BIRAC’s Innovation Fellows (for post graduates and above)
* BIRAC’s E-YUVA Fellows (for under graduate students)
* BIRAC supported EYCs encompass the following:

* Pre-incubation space (3,000 sq. ft. or more)
* Manage Fellowships for students as per categories mentioned above
* Conduct Entrepreneurial Awareness Workshops for students
