Proposal Information
- Proposal Title: The title of the project can be entered here and is limited to 120 characters.
- Proposal Cycle: This is formed from the proposal year and the submission period. If a non-submitted proposal created during a previous cycle is read into the OT the old proposal cycle will be shown, but this will be updated to the current cycle if the project is then submitted.
- Abstract: The abstract can be entered as plain text and is limited to 1200 characters.
- Proposal Type: Four projects types are currently available
- Regular (Letter Code = S): This type of project is essentially the opposite of Large i.e. the total time required must be less than the criteria for Large projects.
- Large (Letter Code = L): If
50 hours of 12-m Array or stand-alone ACA time is requested, this Proposal Type must be selected. Projects must receive an A grade in order to receive time and are allowed a longer Scientific Justification.
- Target of Opportunity (Letter Code = T): These projects will need to be triggered during the observing period. It is not necessary to enter the source coordinates as these may not be known at proposal submission time.
- VLBI (Letter Code = V): Selecting this will significantly change the information that must be entered into the Science Goal. A proposal must also be submitted to the other telescopes that will form the VLBI array.
- Scientific Category: A set of radio buttons for selecting the proposal's science category:
- Cosmology and the High Redshift Universe
- Galaxies and Galactic Nuclei
- ISM, star formation and astrochemistry
- Circumstellar disks, exoplanets and the solar system
- Stellar Evolution and the Sun.
- Keywords: Assign a maximum of two keywords to the project. The second keyword is added by holding down the Shift or Ctrl key in the way that you're probably used to.
- Student Project: Check the box if the data will form part of a PhD or other major student project.
- Related Proposals: Proposals to ALMA from this Cycle that are related to the current project. Project code, title and PI name should be given with each separated by a comma e.g. ``2015.1.54321.S, Other Proposal Title, Proposer Name'' (without the quotes).
- Previous Proposals: Details of any related ALMA proposals, graded A, B or C in previous Cycles. Project code, title, PI name and publication status should be given. A comma-separated format is again required e.g. ``2013.1.54321.S, Previous Proposal Title, Proposer Name, Published'' (without the quotes).
