Home > Banking and Finance > Goverment Schemes > SERB Distinguished Investigator Award (DIA) - Central Government Schemes

Launched in Jan 2018, SERB Distinguished Investigator Award (DIA) has been initiated to recognize and reward Principal Investigators (PIs) of SERB/DST projects who have performed remarkably well.
It aims not only to reward best PIs of completed projects but also to motivate ongoing PIs to perform exceedingly well.
This will improve productivity of research undertaken and overall efficiency of research ecosystem.
DIA is a one-time career award devised to specifically cater to younger scientists who have not received any other prestigious awards or fellowships.
DIA carries a fellowship of INR 15,000 per month and an optional research grant for 3 years, based on peer review of the project proposal submitted.
