Proposal Submission Requirements
Submitting an application is a two-step process: on-line creation of a proposal cover sheet
and uploading a PDF file with the Scientific Justification and other supporting materials.
Step 1: Create a proposal cover sheet and be assigned a Proposal ID#. Go to the web page
below, enter the information required for the form, submit the form and note the assigned
proposal ID#, which is required in Step 2.
On the cover sheet, specify cadence for queue scheduled programs. Classical is for
programs that require full nights of observation on specifically scheduled nights and
must be fully justified.
Also note the requirements in the proposal.
