About:

Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) has invited research proposals under the fixed grant scheme (MATRICS). In order to encourage the researchers from various areas such as Mathematical Sciences, Theoretical Sciences, and Quantitative Social Sciences SERB reopened the successful 6 Lakhs 3 years Fixed Grant Scheme again.  The main attribute of this scheme would be the submission of a simple 1-2 page mathematical/theoretical proposal. The funding provided would cater to the specific needs of Mathematical/Theoretical Sciences research. 

Eligibility:

The elgible research areas to apply for this proposal

• Mathematical Sciences (MS): Mathematical and allied areas
• Theoretical Sciences (TS): All areas of Science and Engineering (other than mathematical and allied areas)
• Quantitative Social Sciences (QSS): Quantitative Social Sciences which involves quantitative analysis using mathematical, statistical or computational techniques in the areas of Social Sciences

Fund Supported by SERB:

SERB‘s Fixed Grant Scheme-2019 supports Rs. 2 lakh per annum for a period of three years(6 Lakhs).
