BRIC aims to provide a centralized and unified governance mechanism for the administration of its research institutions through intra-mural core grants. It emphasizes multi-disciplinary research support from basic discovery to application in areas of strength within the DBT institutions. To this end, BRIC will establish multi-disciplinary research programmes aligned with national priorities, encouraging collaboration between academia, clinics, and industry.

BRIC seeks to nurture the next generation of scientific leaders by enabling the pursuit of knowledge and innovation in globally competitive and nationally relevant ecosystems. To support research endeavours, BRIC will develop and maintain world-class facilities with advanced platform technologies, capabilities, and instrumentation at its research institutes, providing access and training to researchers across the country. BRIC aims to work in partnership with the Regional Centre of Biotechnology (RCB) to offer globally competitive interdisciplinary education and research programs in biotechnology.
