6. NHSC Cycle 1 Open Time Proposal Planning Workshop 3-4 June 2010 NASA Herschel Science Center - page 6 PACS The NASA Call for Proposals for Data Analysis (DA) Funding Consult the NHSC Proposal Page https://nhscsci.ipac.caltech.edu/sc/index.php/Proposals/Proposals and especially read carefully the call itself https://nhscsci.ipac.caltech.edu/NHSC/uploads/Proposals/CP1_20May2010.pdf If Proposal is led by a US-based PI- they should be the PI of the NASA funding proposal, if a foreign PI, then a NASA PI should be designated. Before submitting a proposal, make sure your institution allows you be to a PI on a funded proposal All DA proposals linked to Herschel OT1 programs selected by ESA for execution should be funded. The funding will be determined formulaically by the NHSC. The amount of funding will depend on the amount of effort to be provided by US-based investigators in support of the program as well as the program size and complexity. A full description of the “funding instrument” (e. g. RSA/CREI etc) is in the Call and will not be repeated here WHAT TO SUBMIT 1 Coversheet (web-based) filled in at the special website (Accessed through Proposals URL above) 2 Copy of the Telescope proposal PDF. NOTE: Since the funding is formulaic—no budget is necessary. Questions about the call can be sent to the NHSC helpdesk. Do not send requests for help on the NHSC Call to the ESA helpdesk as they may not get answered in a timely manner. We will support the helpdesk fully up to the deadline.
