In
order to promote excellence in various fields of science and technology, a
scheme of awards for young scientists in the CSIR system was introduced in
1987. Normally, 5 awards, one in each of the following fields, are given
annually:
1.
Biological Sciences
2.
Chemical Sciences
3.
Earth, Atmosphere,
Ocean and Planetary Sciences
4.
Engineering Sciences
5.
Physical Sciences
(including instrumentation)
These are known as "CSIR Young Scientist Awards".
The
following guidelines are followed in the process of selection for these awards:
1.
Any scientist, engaged
in research work in any of the CSIR laboratories/institutes, who is not more
than 35 years of age, as reckoned on 26
September (CSIR Foundation Day) of the preceding year, is eligible for the
Award.
Nominee should be a regular employee of CSIR holding
a post of Scientist ‘B’ or above in Group IV.
Neither Junior nor a Senior Technical Assistant
(JTA/STA) nor a Quick-hire-fellow (QHF) is eligible for consideration.
2.
Nominations are invited for CSIR Young Scientist Awards every
year
from Directors
of CSIR Laboratories/ Institutes and Chairmen of various Research Councils (RC)
of CSIR Laboratories/ Institutes and Bhatnagar Awardees working at CSIR
Laboratories. Information regarding nominees should be sent as per enclosed pro-forma
prescribed for nomination.
3.
Directors/ Chairmen
(RC) /Bhatnagar Awardees should propose nominations of scientists belonging to
the CSIR laboratories/ institutions with which they are associated. Each of them can send a maximum of two
nominations.
4.
Duly approved Advisory
Committees in the above-mentioned five fields would make selections from among
the nominations received. The scientists nominated for CSIR Young Scientist
Award are required to make a brief presentation about their research work
before the concerned Advisory Committee.
No nomination will be considered in absentia.
5.
Each award consists of
a citation (signed by the Director General, CSIR and the Vice-President, CSIR),
a cash prize of Rs.50,000 (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) and a plaque.
6.
The awards are given
for outstanding contributions made by the young CSIR scientists based on work
done primarily in India during the last five years preceding the year of the
Award.
7. The CSIR Young Scientist Awards will be presented to
the recipients on 26 September, the CSIR Foundation Day.
8.
After the selections,
each Awardee would be required to submit a research project indicating the
grant required for equipment and contingency by him/her for the pursuit of
research as per his/her proposed project. Duration of the project may be for
five years or less. The project should
have the approval of the Director/ Research Council of the laboratories/
institutes. Work under the project is to be carried out independently. With effect from 1 April 1994, the Directors
of CSIR laboratories/ institutes have been empowered to release the grant,
which is normally to the tune of Rs 5.00 lakh per annum (from the year 2008
onwards) per awardee for the
approved projects to the CSIR Young Scientist Awardee, where he/ she is
working. The grant may be debited to
the centrally operated budget head (P 81-113) of the Extramural Research (EMR),
Human Resource Development Group, CSIR Complex, New Delhi. Intimation regarding this should be sent to
HRDG along with a copy of the project for reference and record.
