Every year, the Center for Social Innovation Design & Research awards a few Research Grant to deserving candidates from research institutes in India to pursue original applied research that will work towards the vision of a sustainable planet. The research work must be aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The Grant comes with a financial support and some other expenses for candidates in Masters programs in India. CSIDR works with the candidate to build a reputable CV and assist with the PhD application process.

The candidate must get into an agreement to share the research at conferences and publish at leading journals around the world. CSIDR will provide the necessary guidance to encourage the candidates to do this.

All applications should be accompanied with a detailed  Proposal of an undergoing research, or a research work that the candidate wants to undertake. Two letter of recommendations are also required to support the candidature.
