***General Cycle Information
Q: When will the Cycle-2 Call for Proposals be issued?
Q: How much time do I have left to
submit a proposal?
Q: How do I tell what objects have
already been observed, with what instrument, and to what sensitivity?
Q: I'm not a U.S. citizen, and I work
in a different country. I don't normally have access to telescopes like
Gemini. Can I still apply for a joint proposal using these other
telescopes?
Q:
Can I apply for a joint proposal using 2 or more other observatories in
addition to Spitzer?
Q:
I'm confused about whether I need to put a budget narrative and
a cost plan in my AR or TR proposal.
A:
The Cycle-2 CP was issued on November 1, 2004, along with a slew of other
updated documentation. Proposals are due February 12, 2005. For future
dates for these sorts of events, consult the science schedule.
A:
See this page.
A:
The new ROC came out on November 1, and you can use
the ROC search
tool. Until then (and even after then),
you can use Leopard to search by
position for your favorite objects, and/or you can use Spot to download entire programs (all the GO abstracts are online).
You might also be interested in exactly what constitutes a
duplicate observation, because the observation you are planning may not
actually duplicate an existing observation.
A:
There are no restrictions on who can apply for the time
at the other observatories. You still can't get funding, however.
A:
Yes, submit a single proposal and put as many observatories (up to four,
HST, CXO, NOAO and/or NRAO) as you need into the appropriate window in
Spot.
A:
If you are using the WORD templates
and an Excel spreadsheet then it is easy to paste the whole thing
into the proposal and include it in the PDF file. If using the
latex template then I would only include the narrative. The total
budget requested will be on the cover sheet so the narrative
describing how it is spent is all that is really required in the PDF
file.
