INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before filling the form please read the instructions and register at URL: [Link] .
2. Applications are accepted ONLINE throughout the year. Processing of application is
initiated only when all the required documents have been uploaded and found to be in
order. On successful submission and acceptance by the BRNS for further processing, an
application number would be generated after preliminary scrutiny of the
submission. This number would be reflected into the applicant account, which can be
seen after logging at this site. The status of the submitted application, starting from
acknowledgement to final decision would be updated into the applicant’s account.
3. After allocation of the application number, please post hard copies (2 Nos.) of the
consolidated pdf generated from ONLINE Submission, to BRNS Secretariat, 1st Floor,
Central Complex, BARC, Trombay, Mumbai-400085 via government owned SPEED
POST. Please attach all Certificates in original.
4. The time required for the processing & sanctioning of the project is typically 8 to 12
months.
5. For smooth implementation, the project must have Co-investigator (s) (CI) from the same
Department/Institution. The CI is expected to ensure that the project work is carried out
 2

when the PI is on leave/deputation. In case of long leave/deputation, PI is expected to

inform the BRNS sufficiently in advance so that in PI’s absence, correspondence can be
addressed to the CI directly.
6. BRNS can consider projects based on multi-centre studies. For such project proposals,
additionalCIs could be from institutions other than that of the PI. However funds would
be given only to the PI’s institute.
7. Projects that have direct relevance to the DAE programmes and are carried out in
collaboration with a DAE unit will only be considered. Such projects are evolved from
interaction between the prospective Principal Collaborator (PC) from a DAE unit and the
PI. The PI and PC will work on complimentary aspects of the problem.
8. ONLINE submission Process
The process of applying for a research project consists of three sections. Section A is
mainly for Application Summary and has to be filled online. Section B is for other details
