Beginning this September all incoming proposals will be processed and imported into the proposal database in Tucson. In the past CTIO proposals came into the Tucson office but were immediately transferred to CTIO for further processing. What this means for investigators is that they will be getting e-mail from Tucson rather than from CTIO if any problems are encountered during the LaTeXing and printing of their proposals. For the most part, however, this change will be transparent to investigators.
Proposals will still be sent to CTIO after they are imported into the database for review by CTIO scientific staff.
