GrantDetailsBenefitsEligibilityApplication ProcessDocuments RequiredFrequently Asked QuestionsThe Scheme â€œHigh Risk - High
Reward Researchâ€​ is implemented by the Science and Engineering Research Board, Department of Science and Technology,
Government of India with the aim to support proposals that are conceptually new and risky, and if successful, expected to have a
paradigm-shifting influence on the S&T. This may be in terms of formulating a new hypothesis, or scientific breakthroughs which aid in
emergence of new technologies. Nature of Proposals to be Supported:The scheme is aimed at supporting proposals that are new,
challenge existing hypothesis, and provide 'out of box' thinking on important problems. It should contain significant risk elements but
promise of high reward if the difficulties could be circumvented. It is expected that the success of such proposals will have far-reaching
implications in S&T. Outcome could be new and significant theoretical or experimental advances, formulation of new hypothesis, or
breakthrough science which will lead to new technologies. Proposals that address scientific issues which will result in 'incremental'
knowledge will not be supported. Ideally, the proposal must contain bold research ideas which will have wide-ranging impact and
potential for new scientific and technological innovations.Duration of Support:The funding is provided normally for a period of three
years. In exceptional cases, the duration can be up to 5 years as assessed by the expert committee.OkWas this helpful?ShareNews and

QuestionsWhat is the difference between an EMR project and a High Risk High Reward (HRHR) project?Both EMR and HRHR
projects are expected to address important and challenging issues resulting in advancement of scientific knowledge. However, in HRHR
projects, the risks associated to address the proposed scientific issues are high, and if it is successfully solved, should result in high
reward. This could be in the form of new hypothesis, methodology, process or products, and may have the potential to open up new
frontiers in S&T. In other words, proposals resulting in 'incremental knowledge' will not be supported under the HRHR scheme.Does the
Board has any priority areas for funding HRHR projects?No. The Board funds all areas of Science and Engineering without
discriminating any discipline. The proposal will be funded if it is conceptually new, risky and challenge the existing hypothesis and
approaches. If successful, it is expected to open up new frontiers in science and technology.Can I apply for a project under HRHR
scheme when I am already implementing another project (such as EMR) in SERB?Yes. You can apply and implement a HRHR project,
in addition any other project being implemented by you in SERB.I am currently executing an HRHR project in the area of Chemical
Sciences. I want to apply for another HRHR project related to Engineering Sciences. Will I be funded another project?No. Only one
HRHR project can be executed at a time.I want to apply for a HRHR scheme for the first time. What is the maximum amount of the
grant the Board will fund?There is no upper limit (or even lower limit) for a project grant. The budget is decided based on the
requirement for its successful implementation. The Investigator should propose a budget which is realistic taking into account the
infrastructure and resources available at the implementing institutions.Are Co-Investigators allowed in HRHR project? If they are from
different institutions, can the budget be provided separately to both the Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator(s)?Yes. Co-
Investigator(s) are allowed in HRHR project, provided the work proposed require complementary expertise for its implementation.
Separate budget can also be provided to the Co-Investigator (s) even if they belong to different institutions.Is there any specific time-line
for applying proposals under this scheme?SERB is planning to fix time-lines to call for proposals for each scheme. Please look at
notifications in websites ( www.serbonline.in and www.serb.gov.in) for information.Sources And ReferencesOfficial WebsiteWebsite-
