 GUIDELINES TO FILL THE FORM

Item 1: Title of proposal must be short and should encapsulate the main objective. Examples:
“Mapping trajectories of ions in nearly-insulating multi-layers using channeling ERDA”;
“Design and construction of a new instrument to confirm the Patankar conjecture that
bacterial rhodopsin acts as a pseudo-prion in Bose-Chapman electric fields”. The
objective of the proposal could also be pursuit of a generic research programme such as
“A Programme for Advanced Research in Mathematical Engineering of Non-Linear
Systems”.
PI should provide 4-5 keywords which will help in classification
PI should provide information about type of institution
Item 6: State main objectives of the proposal highlighting investigations, methodology and/or
experimental design (such as validating new theory, exploring new parameter regimes,
test of hypotheses, etc.) followed by expected categories or types of results. Example:
“The test-section of the existing hypersonic wind tunnel will be modified to enable two
yawed cones to be placed laterally in the test section. Liquid crystal coatings will be used
to identify location of transition. Results will be reported as Dhawan transition maps in
nested form.”
