The Principal Investigator (or his/her co-investigator) will present the project proposal in a plenary session during the Annual Conference of IAPSM. The projects will be judged by a jury of 3-4 eminent life members/ senior members of IAPSM. Please contact the Organizing Secretary of the Annual Conference of IAPSM for the program of presentation. Please note that if all the proposals presented are found unsuitable, no one will be given the grant in that year. The total duration of the presentation to be made will be about eight minutes, so make your presentation accordingly.

No more than three project proposals and no more than a total of Rs.60,000/- grant (Rupees Sixty Thousand) will be made by the jury in one year. It should be – to the extent possible – one time grant. The cheque will be sent in the name of the Head of the Institution after administrative formalities have been completed between the candidate and the Head Office of IAPSM.

Life members of IAPSM below 40 years of age at junior levels of faculty positions or residents having a term of two clear years only are eligible for this grant. Under no circumstances, thesis work of junior residents (presented as a “project”) will be given this grant. An undertaking to this effect must accompany the application of each project. If found incorrect at a later date, such investigators will have to return the entire grant amount with 10% yearly interest within 2 months of such detection.

The format for writing a project proposal is like any other Research Project, i.e., Title, Rationale for the study, objectives, review of literature, methodology, time-line, budget and references. The undertaking as mentioned in point number 4 above should accompany the Proposal. Incomplete proposals will be summarily rejected. An audited statement of accounts – duly verified by HOD and the Head of the Institution – must be submitted to the Head Office of IAPSM by the stipulated date along with 3 copies of the final Project Report.

The year for these grants will be counted from 01 April of next year to 31 March of the subsequent year. All publications/presentations emanating from the work done through these projects must carry acknowledgement of “IAPSM – Ford Foundation Grant” and a copy of all such publications/ presentations must be sent to the Head Office of IAPSM.
