The Homi Bhabha Fellowships are prestigious fellowships that historically support outstanding scientists, technologists and scholars to pursue advanced research in areas important to the nation’s scientific capabilities. These fellowships sometimes fund mid-career to senior researchers for high-impact, interdisciplinary projects or for enabling continuity in a significant research programme. Homi Bhabha–branded fellowships or chairs may be awarded by institutions associated with DAE (such as Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Homi Bhabha National Institute) and can include named fellowships, senior research fellowships, or laureate-level support.
These fellowships emphasize excellence, originality and leadership. They may fund independent research, sabbaticals, or allow renowned scholars to establish interdisciplinary projects, mentor early career researchers, and create centres of excellence. Selection is rigorous — a combination of nomination, peer review, and high-level selection committee assessment of track record, impact, and future plan.
Because of their seniority, Homi Bhabha fellowships often carry higher stipends and more flexible funding terms (travel, visiting scholars, seed grants). They are intended to catalyse research ecosystems — typically awarded to researchers with strong publication records, patents or major technical achievements.
