Proposals for observing time for the 1999B observing semester (August 1999-January 2000) at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory and Kitt Peak National Observatory are due in March 1999. The deadline for Survey Proposals is Monday evening 15 March Midnight MST. Regular or standard proposals are due Wednesday evening 31 March Midnight MST.
Proposal materials and information are available on our Web page at http://www.noao.edu/noaoprop/ (see accompanying articles in this section of the Newsletter for changes to the proposal form and other important proposal information). Proposal materials are no longer available by FTP. Investigators are requested to use the Web form to initiate all new proposals. Although the Web form is the starting point for all proposals we do provide two options for submission (note that paper submissions are no longer an option).
After these pages have been completed the "Email LaTeX File" button on the bottom of these pages may be pressed to return a "customized" LaTeX template for completion and submission by e-mail. Follow the instructions in the LaTeX template for submitting proposals and figures.
There are several addresses available to help with proposal preparation and submission:
