BACKGROUND
On July 24th, 2024, in New Delhi, the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) announced its partnership with the UK Department of Health and Social Care’s Global AMR Innovation Fund (GAMRIF). This collaboration aims to nurture and fund innovations addressing challenges of antimicrobial resistance in the environment.

GAMRIF is a UK aid fund that supports research and development around the world to tackle and reduce the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The programme supports early-stage innovative research in underfunded areas of research and development in AMR, for the benefit of people in the LMICs. GAMRIF works with different governments, research organisations and industries around the world to:
Establish international research partnerships and support research competitions that fund innovation and development of new technologies to tackle AMR.
Leverage investment from other partners and donors to support sustainable financing for AMR.
Establish global research partnerships using a ‘One Health’ approach.
Fund projects that will develop solutions specifically for LMICs.
The GAMRIF C-CAMP challenge is designed to bring and support technologies addressing the AMR problem in the environment. Up to £5.1 million in funding has been committed over 3 years by the UK’s GAMRIF to the C-CAMP, to foster the identification and development of world-class AMR-focused innovative solutions to tackle AMR in the environment.
Identification of Promising Technologies:
Nurturing Startups and Entrepreneurs:
Through a rigorous selection process, we seek to identify and showcase the most promising technologies and innovations in the field of AMR in the environment. This includes novel approaches to detection, prevention and treatment.
We are committed to provide financial support: Approximately £5.1 million (₹56 Cr.) is committed over the next three years to support 15-20 startups during this period.
Nurture startups and entrepreneurs working on AMR-related solutions in the environment. This includes mentorship, networking opportunities, and access to funding to help translate innovative ideas into viable products and services.
