RESEARCH PROJECTS
Eligibility

Organisations seeking the support of AERB are expected to have
the basic infrastructure needed to carry out such research
projects.

The facilities available may be suitably augmented to a limited
extent with the help of research grants made by AERB.

AERB funds for selected research projects will be made available
to members of faculties of universities and other research
organizations.

Proposals from persons who apply in individual capacity and not
through organizations will not be considered.

All applications for grants should be made through the Head of
the Organization in which the project is proposed to be carried
out.
Tenure
The normal duration of a research scheme would be
two to three years from the date of the issue of
sanction.
Financial grants will be made on an annual basis.
The progress of the projects will be reviewed for
renewal of the projects.
Procedure for Applying
• Ten copies of the application for research proposals for the
year should be submitted to Member Secretary, Committee
for Safety Research Programmes (CSRP), Atomic Energy
Regulatory Board, Niyamak Bhavan, Anushakti Nagar,
Mumbai-400 094 on or before November 30. This is for
funding in the ensuing financial year.
• The Head of the Organization in which the proposed work is
to be carried out should endorse at least one copy of the
proposal sent to AERB.
• The proposer and the organization in which the work will be
carried out will be required to accept the terms and
conditions.
Consolidated Terminal Reports
Every investigator must submit five copies of a
consolidated terminal report within three months
of the terminal date of the project to the Member
Secretary of the CSRP.
The consolidated report should be a selfcontained complete document and not a
compilation of papers published.
Two copies of all the papers published/submitted
for publication based on work done under the
AERB project should also be sent along with this
report.
Components of Research Grants
Basically, AERB will fund the research project for items
such as equipment, consumables, stipends for staff
exclusively employed for the project, and computation
charges and other contingencies that may be required to
complete the project successfully.
Only those items including equipment, which are
essential for carrying out the project effectively and
