Editorial in a journal alleges undue emphasis on translational research at the cost of supporting basic research
An editorial published in an Indian science journal highlights the gloomy state of science funding in India. Increasing number of research project proposals submitted to different funding agencies are not getting funded, and there is inordinate delay of one or more years in releasing the initial or the subsequent funding when proposals do get approved, says the editorial. And when released, the amount is “often a fraction” of the actual amount approved, says Subhash C. Lakhotia in the editorial published in the Proceedings of the Indian National Academy of Sciences. Professor Lakhotia is from Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi and editor-in-chief of the journal.
There is also “undue emphasis” on translational research at the cost of supporting basic research, the editorial says.
