Prior permission of the coordinator of the respective panel should be obtained for publishing the results of AR&DB sponsored projects etc. in Indian and foreign journals including Defence Science Journal. The coordinator while granting the permission will endorse a copy to the Secretary AR&DB along with a copy manuscript / abstract. The assistance rendered by the Board will be acknowledged in the papers. Three copies of reprints of papers published will invariably be sent, to Secretary AR&DB and costs if any, may be met from the contingency grant of the project. However, permission of Secretary AR&DB would need to be obtained for making any commercial use of the investigations carried out under grants-in-aid scheme.

If the investigation being conducted is of unclassified nature, the research fellow / assistant working on the scheme, can register himself / herself with the prior approval of the coordinator of the panel for a research degree. In all such cases, a copy of thesis should be sent for prior approval to the Coordinator of the specialist panel and Secy. AR&DB before the same is submitted to the university concerned.

The research work carried out by a grantee institution, including experimental results and computer software developed in a project, would be reviewed by the concerned specialist panel and if it is recommended by the panel that wider dissemination to the aeronautical community in India and abroad is desirable, the project investigator would be requested to prepare a technical report, in the approved AR&DB format, and make available 250 copies of the technical report to AR&DB Secretariat as part of project activity. Additional funds would be centrally provided for the above by AR&DB Secretariat.
