The United States-India Science & Technology Endowment Fund is a joint fund established between the United States and India for the purpose of promoting innovation through science and technology.[1][2] It is governed by a board representing both India and the United States and provides grants of up to $500,000 for joint projects between the U.S. and India.[3] HistoryThe U.S.-India Science & Technology Endowment Fund was established in 2009 with a joint agreement between the United States and India,[4] having an annual budget of approximately $2 to $3 million per year.[3][5] A board with members from both countries was established to award grants on a semi-annual basis. The board was established through the United States Department of State and the India Department of Science & Technology.[6] In May 2012, then United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Indian Minister of Science and Technology Vilasrao Deshmukh awarded the first grantee of the fund.[3] The first grantees included a partnership between both countries to develop a cold chain storage for produce, a procedure for metabolic screening of newborns, and a shoe specifically built to assist patients with Parkinson's disease.[3] See also
