Introduction of MRHRU Scheme:

Government of India conceptualized and introduced a central sector umbrella scheme of developing infrastructure for promotion of health research across the country during the 12th plan period (2012-13 to 2016-17). The scheme was extended for the period of 15th Finance Commission (2021-22 to 2025-26).
This scheme has been launched based on successful experience of ICMR at Ghatampur (UP). So far, 34 MRHRUs have been established in different States and Union Territories.
The MOA between Government of Maharashtra & National Institute for Research in Reproductive and Child Health to establish MRHRU at Sub District Hospital, Dahanu was signed on 17.09.2013

Objective of the mission:

Creating infrastructure for transfer of technology to the rural level for improving quality of health services to rural population.
Ensuring an interface between the New Technology Developers (Researchers in Medical institutions; State or Centre), Health System Operators (Centre or State Health Services) and the Beneficiaries (Communities in rural areas).
Ensuring geographical spread of health research infrastructure in the country.

Functions:

MRHRU is collaboration between ICMR-NIRRCH, Mumbai as a Research and Mentoring body; Directorate of Health services, Government of Maharashtra as facilitator and Grant Medical College, Mumbai as a linked medical college.

MRHRU Dahanu has been selected as one of the Regional Clinical Trial Units (RCTU) under Indian Clinical Trial & Education Network (INTENT)
