Web-based system launched for DBT projects

Union Science and Technology Minister Harsh Vardhan on Monday launched a web-enabled information management system for the department of biotechnology (DBT) projects.

It is expected to avoid delay in processing project proposals and allow access to information for applicants on their proposals from anywhere, an official release said.

Inaugurating the DBT Strategy Meet at the NCR Biotech Science Cluster in Faridabad, the minister also unveiled a mobile app for the purpose. It will be available at dbtepromis.nic.in.

"These applications will help registration of new investigators, online submission of proposals, upload project-related documents and even online tracking of projects, reviewing the proposals and intimation of release of grants," the release said.
