I would like to get some pointers as to how DST-INSPIRE faculty fellowship proposal needs to be written. If anyone has a sample copy or an approved (old but shareable) it'd be great to get some information about the format.
As per the reviewer's comments on my proposal, I would suggest you start your proposal with small tasks that you can complete on your own without having any collaboration, then you move from smaller tasks to bigger on that should be of high national importance. Use Govt. reports on your fields, I mean what are the current national problems, how your proposal will be helpful to solve them, what kind of instrumentation you will need, if it requires fieldwork, then explain it. for the 4th and 5th years you can explain the large-scale applications of your proposal. I hope it will help. wish you good luck with your application.
