Cycle 3 FUSE Proposals Deadline was May 11, 2001!§Thank you for your support">
Cycle 3 FUSE Proposals Deadline was May 11, 2001!
E-mail notifications to accepted proposers went out on
September 14, 2001
Phase 2 templates will be mailed out the week of September 17 and are due back on October 15.
Formal letters of proposal acceptance and rejection, including TAC comments and perceived
strengths and weaknesses of each proposal will be sent out by NASA headquarters by
the end of September.
FUSE was launched on 24 June 1999, with a nominal three-year mission
lifetime expected after an initial checkout period. Normal Science operations
began 01 December 1999, and Cycle 2 is now in full swing.
Averaged over the three years, more than half of the
available observing time will be open for observations by Guest
Investigators (GIs) selected by NASA through the normal peer-review
process. The GI program is coordinated by NASA Project Scientist Dr.
George Sonneborn. GI proposals will be solicited in three approximately 1-year
cycles, with less GI time available in the first year, and more in each
successive cycle.
The proposal process for Cycle 3 is similar to that which was used for
Cycle 1 & 2. This process requires electronic
submission and processing and is divided into two phases; 1 and 2.
"Phase 1" of the process closed, for cycle 3, on May 11, 2001 and involved:
1) Filling out and submitting a "Cover Page" web-form at the NASA HQ site
2) Filling out and submitting a LaTeX (keyword-driven) template form.
3)
Submitting 12 printed copies of the proposal.
The purpose of Phase 1 is proposal selection only, and no budget
information was requested.
Successful proposers are now being requested to
submit "Phase 2" inputs for use in actual scheduling of the observations
with the satellite. This will involve:
1) Checking and complementing the phase 2 templates being sent out from JHU
2) Verifying formatting and syntax of forms using the p2test@pha.jhu.edu account
3) Submitting a checked final phase 2 form to the p2submit@pha.jhu.edu account
Budget information for successful proposers
will be requested by NASA directly after the Phase 1 selection process.
The schedule for Cycle 3 looks like this:
NRA Release: February 16, 2001
Notice of Intent due: March 30, 2001
Phase 1 Proposal Due Date: May 11, 2001
Announce Accepted Proposals: September 14, 2001
Cycle 3 Phase 2 Inputs due: October 15, 2001
Cycle 3 Begins: December 1, 2001
Any questions about the FUSE GI program, its policies, or its funding should
be directed to NASA Project Scientist George
Sonneborn at NASA/Goddard.
