Recommendations for STIP :
1) More focus and funding on ecology, evolution, and epidemiological research.
2) A dedicated research and teaching institute covering these subject areas would be a boost to these vital areas.
3) Indian research arena needs more natural product chemists and synthetic organic chemists who are becoming a rare species
4) We need an “integrated online platform” that can handle faculty applications for different central institutes. The prospective candidates should be able to know where their application stands. The platform should also show job vacancies in different central institutes.
5) We need more budget allocations that can help research institutes appoint administrative personnel. This will reduce the burden on researchers who are currently spending a significant amount of time on this.
6) A key area that our country needs to invest in is “establishing core facilities ” in existing research institutes that can provide service and train students. Importantly, we need to recruit highly qualified professional and administrative staff to run such facilities.
7) A central repository for maintaining strains, plasmids, animals, cell lines, and other goods of common interests to different research communities with a good logistics and administrative team. Researchers anywhere in India should have easy access to all the material available
