TECHNOLOGY
INTERVENTIONS FOR ELDERLY (TIE) |
Call
for R&D and Technology Development Proposals
|
| |
Department
of Science & Technology (DST) has started a
new and focused initiative on S&T interventions
for benefit of elderly population in the country
through its Science and Society Division. DST would
like to support R&D proposals on conceptualization,
research and development for finding technological
solutions to ameliorate problems faced by the elderly
population and to improve their quality of life.
The possible interventions would include design
and development of enabling devices, designs of
homes, use of ICT in networking, recreation and
entertainment, and health and nutritious food. Some
projects already funded by DST under this programme
relate to development of devices, launching a portal
capturing technologies for elders and related matters,
instituting fellowships at master’s level
to attract young minds to work on special designs
for elderly. |
In
addition to the above themes, DST would welcome
any other novel/innovative idea/concept related
to enablement of elderly people. Projects can be
undertaken by academic / R&D institutions in
collaboration with NGOs or industry, wherever feasible.
The proposals should include clearly defined statement
of the problem based on identified needs and state-of-the-art
survey, objectives focusing on the proposed solution,
project deliverables, market potential and well
defined tie up with professional agencies for development/testing/verification/adaptation
trials of technologies. Networked projects involving
a number of agencies will be welcome. |
Project
proposals (10 hard copies & 1 soft copy) can
be submitted in the prescribed format available
on the website www.scienceandsociety-dst.org/format
to the address mentioned below.
The envelope should mention on top "PROPOSAL
UNDER TIE-PROGRAMME”. The proposals can
be submitted throughout the year. However, proposals
received up to 31.08.2008 can be considered for
evaluation in the next PAMC meeting.
