Financial Support

1. The support will be given only for those proposals that have been officially allotted a beam time for experiment under “Indian Access”. Limited funds are available to support successful proposals from “Direct Access”. Preference will be given to the proposals on “Nanoscience”. However, a maximum of two proposals from the same group would be considered for funding in a year independent of whether it is Indian or Direct access.
