Dear @PrinSciAdvGoI @PrinSciAdvOff, the issue of recent FCRA amendments on international collaborative #science #health #research needs to be urgently taken up. Lot of uncertainty.
a) sub-agreements now not allowed which impact existing scientific collaborations b/w institutions
a) sub-agreements now not allowed which impact existing scientific collaborations b/w institutions
b) Interpretations seem to indicate remittance back of FCRA funds will not be allowed. Funders have rules any unspent funds at end of project cycle have to be sent back. But it might not be possible now?
c) Coupled with the #HMSC clearance housed at @ICMRDELHI which is still running delayed with long time for processing even for #COVID19 related #research proposals, this is going to stymie internationally funded collaborative research, often obtained through competitive grants
Hope your office will kindly look into this, and get an exception or clarification issued for #science #health #research to enable rather than make it difficult to do such projects. Thanks in advance.
