Board proactively solicits projects befitting the mandate of the Board from organizations with proven track record of biodiversity related research and action. Short duration and small budget projects with specific deliverables under the Boards thematic areas are especially encouraged. All the projects are to be submitted in the prescribed format, projects not in the format are not considered.

The projects are to be submitted to the Eco-regional Support Group of the respective eco-region with an advanced copy marked to the Board. Only proposals endorsed by the ESG will be considered. However, for projects transacting eco-regions, the same can be directly submitted to the Board. The received projects are put-up in the Project Approval Committee (PAC) of the Board. The PAC reviews the proposals with respect to the mandate of the Board for sanctioning the project.
