2007 TSIP FAQ

Q: Can TSIP funds be used for salary of persons working at federally funded institutions?

A: TSIP funds can be used to support salary for persons working at federally funded research centers as long as those persons are not federal employees. This includes students. For example, TSIP could support salary for a researcher at a NASA center as long as that person was not a NASA employee.

Q: How do I submit my proposal?

A: We prefer electronic submission (pdf or doc formats are the most commonly used). Submissions under 10MB may be emailed to syspo@noao.edu and larger ones (or smaller if preferred) can be uploaded to our anonymous ftp server:

	ftp www.tuc.noao.edu
	
	login anonymous
	passwd: your email address
	
	cd pub/tsip
	binary
	put filename

A proposal id will be given to prospective proposers so that the file name on the ftp site remains anonymous. Files can not be read from the ftp site. Please send an email to syspo@noao.edu after uploading your proposal.

Pages requiring a signature can be faxed or sent by paper mail following the proposal deadline at the proposers convenience.
