Stanford -
India Biodesign (SIB) International Fellowships
The goal of Stanford-India Biodesign is to train the next
generation of medical technology innovators in India. This is
facilitated through a fellowship, internships and events.
Funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science
and Technology, Government of India, Stanford University, and
other supporters, the SIB Fellowship Program is centered in New
Delhi and administered as a collaboration between Stanford
University, the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, and the
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in partnership
with the Indo-US Science & Technology Forum (IUSSTF). In future
years, the fellowship and associated teaching programs will be
developed in other centers in India.
Fellows receive tuition, stipend, and international travel
support (for trips required for the fellowship.)
Fellowship
This highly competitive program is directed towards Indian
citizens who have an interest in the invention and early-stage
development of new medical technologies. Successful applicants
will have advanced degrees and/or significant work experience.
University faculty are strongly encouraged to apply.
During the fellowship, approximately half of the fellows’ time
is , at Stanford University and the other half spent in India.
Fellows work on a multidisciplinary team joining other
innovators with a combination of engineering, medical and
business backgrounds.
The team examines clinical needs within the Indian setting,
identifying opportunities for medical technology innovation.
Working closely with Stanford, AIIMS and IIT Delhi faculty, the
teams invent, prototype, develop and patent one or more new
technologies. Fellows are also mentored by “real-world” experts
from the medical technology, legal and venture capital
industries in the United States and India.
The fellowship begins in January each year.
Fellows must commit to remaining in India at the completion of
the program, with the intent of returning to academia (to
develop Biodesign-related programs), founding startup companies
or joining existing medical technology companies.
Fellows are paid a full stipend while they are in the
fellowship, although the amount varies between Stanford and
Delhi. Any required tuition and health benefits are also
covered.
Internship
Internships are offered at the AIIMS SIB Centre on an annual
basis. Interns spend three months at the SIB Centre working with
the fellows to find solutions to the needs they have identified.
Interns are mentored by the SIB Fellows and Faculty during their
stay at AIIMS. Interns are paid a modest stipend. Further
information is available on the Internship page.
Events
Every year we hold an Indian Medtech Summit in Delhi, India. The
AIIMS SIB faculty, fellows and staff facilitate the event and
