Overhead grants are such money given by the department to the university for providing basic infrastructure facilities in establishing CARRT. The centre was being used by students, researchers in physics, chemical, biological, medical and pharmaceutical sectors from across the country. At present, the centre is functioning partly from the overhead grants remitted to the university from the department and partly from the service charge collected by the centre from researchers, universities and other departments for availing of facilities at CARRT. A prominent research facility at Mangalore University, the Centre for Application of Radioisotopes and Radiation Technology (CARRT), which has been functioning with grants from the Department of Atomic Energy for the past six years, will now be taken over by the university. It was because the funding for the centre established in 2011 had been restricted till 2016 with future funding, if any, for research activities only.
