The first stage of applying for ALMA time is the creation andsubmission of an observing proposal; this is often referred to asPhase 1 . This will be subject to scientific andtechnical review by a system of proposal review panels, the result ofwhich will be a letter grade that will determine the likelihood of theproject being awarded time. The proposal must contain a scientific andtechnical justification, but will also include some administrativeinformation about the PI and Co-Is. In addition, the user must createScience Goals, constructs which capture the basic scientificrequirements of the planned observations and which are used to createthe telescope runfiles (Scheduling Blocks).
