Job Description: The world is facing a new health crisis: a rapidly increasing epidemic of chronic disease which is no longer restricted to high income countries. Today four out of five deaths from these conditions are occurring in low and middle income countries and at younger ages. Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), stroke, diabetes and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) became the principal causes of death and disability in the UK during the twentieth century and continue to present a huge health burden. With changing demography, i.e. economic development, urbanisation, nutrition transition etc, there is also now a growing epidemic of these diseases in the Indian population.

To help address the causes of this epidemic, in November 2009 the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) and the UK Medical Research Council (MRC) jointly hosted a workshop in New Delhi. Experts from India and the UK reviewed the current disease burden in their respective countries in cardiovascular disease, diabetes (especially the contribution of obesity and early-life under-nutrition in the aetiology of disease) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (in particular the role of smoking and indoor pollution in its development) together with the strengths, weaknesses and unmet needs of the existing research landscape in these areas.

Objectives and Remit

The partnership between ICMR and MRC aims to combine the strengths of the Indian and UK chronic disease research communities. The guiding principles for the call will be:

Funding available

Each joint proposal must include requests for funding from both India-based and UK-based Principal Investigators (please see Eligibility section below for details of eligible institutions).

ICMR will provide funding to Indian researchers for research based in India. Approximately 5-10 million Indian Rupees (50 to 100 lakhs) will be available per project for its entire duration for the ICMR-funded portion of the costs. The funds are to be utilized in India only. Funding will be provided as per the usual ICMR Terms and Conditions.

MRC will provide funding to the UK applicants. Approximately £500,000 to £800,000 is available per project for the MRC-funded portion of the costs. Funding will be provided as per the usual MRC Terms and Conditions which permit UK institutions to spend MRC funding overseas when necessary.

The funders are expecting to support a small number (3-4) of multi-faceted joint India-UK programme proposals each with an expected duration of three to four years (the fourth year of funding will be subject to a successful review in the third year).

Job Description: The technical report India on HIV estimates 2006 reports that the total number of HIV infection (in millions) in India was 2.47 million, out of which 3.8% of the cases seen were below 15 years. The HIV prevalence for adult males and females together has been showing a declining trend during past five years. It was 0.36% in the year 2006 against 0.45% in 2002. HIV Prevalence 2006 in general population was 0.3%. The adult HIV prevalence during last five years remained almost stable at 0.4% varying between 0.45% in 2002 and 0.36% in 2006. PLHIV in all ages in 2006 was 2.47 million. Around 4% of them were children, 8% among the above-49 age groups and the remaining 88% in 15–49 age groups.

The ICMR is presently working on projects that includes anemia and nutrition, pharmacokinetics of anti-TB drugs when given along with ARV drugs ,nutritional status, Nevirapine levels when given in fixed dose combination, CD4 levels in Normal population of children, estimation of pediatric HIV in a high risk district and effect of Zinc on the recovery of CD4 counts .

Single /Multi centric project Proposals are invited to conduct in-depth research on various aspects of Pediatric HIV. This invitation for proposal is at the national level. This call for proposals is also to encourage the North east region to develop projects in Pediatric HIV. The researchers are advised while writing project proposal, if required, they may send the projects via email to the mentors identified for the different topics in pediatric HIV who will help the researchers to develop the projects.

Further Fellowship Information and Application

Job Description: This announcement aims to foster development of a multi-faceted approach to the prevention and management of STIs and HIV including the role of other microbes (i.e. viruses, bacteria, etc.), behavioral and social interactions, epidemiological factors and co-morbidities associated with HIV transmission, including malignancies associated with other viral infections such as Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) and human papillomavirus (HPV).

The importance of co-morbidities associated with HIV infection was highlighted in an Indo-US workshop: Clinical and Translational Research for Prevention and Treatment of Co-morbidities Associated with HIV Infection held on September 24–25, 2007 in New Delhi, India. This workshop was organized under the aegis of the Indo-US Joint Statement for Collaboration on Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and HIV/AIDS. The report of the workshop can be viewed at http://www.fic.nih.gov/programs/regional/south_asia/US-India-jwg.htm.

This funding opportunity would support the study of individual prevention/management strategies/interventions, as well as combination prevention/management strategies.

Applications may include, but are not limited to collaborations addressing the following aspects of STIs and HIV/AIDS prevention

* Identification of behavioral, social, epidemiological and/or infectious disease relationships that represent barriers to, and/or opportunities for novel prevention /management strategies,
* Conduct of focused microbiological, epidemiological, translational and behavioral and social science interventions and testing that addresses the implementation and/or understanding of the impact of a prevention/management strategy,
* Acquisition of knowledge that assists the operational aspects of developing and testing prevention/ intervention strategies for HIV/AIDS and/or interventions/treatments for associated co-morbidities,
* Preclinical research to establish clear evidence of physiologically-relevant anti-HIV activity,
* Research to develop approaches to measuring and improving acceptability of and adherence to prevention modalities.

A 3-year PhD scholarship is available at the Biomedical Engineering (BME) group at DTU Electrical Engineering.
We conduct research in a number of interrelated subjects, ranging from biomolecular modeling, cellular communication to biomedical image- and signal-processing.
The project is an integral part of a cross-institutional and cross-disciplinary collaboration (funded by the Lundbeck Foundation) aimed at understanding the molecular basis of protein aggregation. This collaboration includes the Biocomplexity Laboratory at Niels Bohr Institute/University of Copenhagen headed by Prof. M. H. Jensen and the Department of Molecular Biology at iNano/Aalborg University headed by Prof. D. Otzen.

The project will focus on developing efficient computational and statistical methods to simulate and assess the process of protein aggregation. The project will greatly benefit from previous work and innovations of our group and collaborators within the field of statistical physics and machine learning. Our in-house software framework includes a range of new algorithms designed to overcome most of the short-comings of existing computational methodologies for single protein dynamics. Part of the project will be to generalise this framework to the inter-dynamics of multiple proteins. The close collaboration with the experimental groups will ensure an immediate feedback-pipeline to guide and validate the computational modeling.

Hyderabad : The state government may be compelled to approach the Supreme Court challenging the recent order of the AP High Court over the fee reimbursement issue.

The government has sought the opinion of its legal department and a final decision is expected to be taken on September 3.

The HC had last week issued orders that private college managements can collect fees from beneficiaries of the fee reimbursement scheme at the time of admission if the state government has not paid the amount to the colleges.

The order triggered protests with several Backward Class unions taking to the streets demanding that the government file a review petition either in the HC or approach the SC and try to vacate the HC order. Most of the student beneficiaries of the scheme are those who cannot afford to pay their own fees and the government is pledged to reimburse the fee amount to the colleges under the scheme, but has failed to do so.

Hyderabad : Though it’s nearly four months since the Eamcet and Icet entrance examinations were conducted for admission into professional courses such as engineering, pharmacy, MBA and MCA, lakhs of students who passed the examinations are sitting idle thanks to delays in the admissions process.

As many as 1.6 lakh students have qualified in Icet, and 2.5 lakh in the Eamcet engineering and pharmacy streams this year.

The delayed admissions procedure has a knock-on effect for students admitted to the first year, with 70 per cent of them failing and the remaining 30 per cent passing with much difficulty, because they have just five months to complete the entire first year course.

With the government tightening the norms for those availing of the fee reimbursement scheme from this year by insisting that students pass all the first year exams if they want to qualify for the scheme in the second year, nearly 70 per cent of the students are in danger of losing the benefit this year.

1. All the practical subjects
2. Industry oriented mini-project
3. Seminar
4. Project work.

These orders shall come into force for the students appeared for the examinations during April/May -2010 onwards.

For the official notification

3 colleges disaffiliated by JNTU

Hyderabad : In a significant development, a day ahead of the Eamcet engineering counselling on August 29, the JNTU-Hyderabad has withdrawn affiliation to three engineering colleges for lack of adequate faculty and infrastructure as stipulated by the AICTE norms.

1) The New India College of Engineering and Technology, Gollapalli, Chevella
2) Shahjehan Colleges of Engineering and Technology, Ramannaguda, Chevella and
3) Nova Institute of Technological Research for Women, Hayathnagar,
are the three colleges that have been disaffiliated. Nearly 300 students are currently enrolled in these colleges and the university is making alternative arrangements to accommodate them in nearby colleges.

Meanwhile, the Eamcet web-based counselling will begin on August 29 with the verification of certificates in nearly 60 helpline centres across the state. As many as 663 colleges with an intake of 2,55,595 seats were included in the SW-I counselling till Tuesday. Few more are expected to get AICTE’s approval till September 2.

This apart, another 21 minority engineering colleges, with an intake of 8,070 seats, are conducting separate counselling under SW-II category. With this, the total number of colleges in the state touched 684 with an intake of 2,63,665 seats. Another 10,000 seats are likely to be added with the AICTE permitting “second shifts” in nearly 85 colleges. However, a final decision is yet to taken, including the second shift seats.
