NIPERs
In a recent study commissioned by the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP), the National Institutes of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPERs) have been urged to fortify their governance framework.
The objective is to enhance accountability through robust program management of research and development initiatives and establish a mechanism for monitoring and reviewing Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs).
NIPERs’ Current Standing
The study acknowledges the commendable performance of NIPERs in various metrics such as publications, citations, and H-Index.
Positioned at par with the world’s top five institutes, NIPERs have proven their scientific capabilities globally.
The Significance of World Rankings
However, the study emphasizes the importance of international recognition, especially in the context of global ranking systems like the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU).
To secure a spot among the top 50 globally, the report suggests aligning NIPERs’ research efforts with parameters favored by such rankings.
Prioritizing Research and Development
The study advocates for a shift towards research and development with tangible translational value.
NIPERs are encouraged to focus on initiatives that offer realistic solutions to real-world problems within defined timeframes.
Strengthening Governance and Program Management
Acknowledging the need for a governance framework, the study recommends NIPERs to establish strong program management in research and development.
A stage-gated, outcome-based funding mechanism is proposed to promote viable product development and facilitate technology transfers to the industry.
Monitoring MoUs and Collaboration
NIPERs, known for their numerous MoUs with various research institutions, are advised to establish a robust system for monitoring progress.
The study suggests that MoUs with industry and global philanthropic organizations should carry more weight during reviews.
Emphasizing Legally Enforceable Agreements
To ensure substantive collaboration, the study recommends a shift from less formal MoUs to legally enforceable Service Level Agreements (SLA).
These agreements should clearly define financial terms, deliverables, and timelines for collaborative projects.
Global Patents for Innovation Protection
While NIPERs secure a notable number of Indian patents annually, the study highlights the minuscule number of international patents.
To protect innovations in international markets, the report suggests obtaining global patents, necessitating the creation of a separate fund for international patent filing fees and legal defenses.
