The proposals initially will be reviewed & screened for completeness at the point of receipt, by the coordinators of TOCIC-NAL.

The proposals after initial screening will be  evaluated by the Domain Knowledge Experts associated with the TOCIC-NAL.

The TOCIC-NAL will send complete and evaluated proposals to DSIR for further action.

The proposals will be considered in PRISM Advisory and Screening Committee (PASC) for recommendation.

The sanction will finally be released to those that are approved by the Department. The applicant has to sign "Terms & Conditions" prior to the actual release of grants-in-aid.

The first release is based on milestones/deliverables projected in the project proposalsand as recommended by PASC. The subsequent releases are based on assessment of progress of the project by Project Review Committee (PRC). ​
