In consultation
with its user community, the NRAO has formulated a program to support GBT
research by students, both graduate and undergraduate, at U.S. universities.
This program strengthens the proactive role of the Observatory in training new
generations of telescope users. This program has also been designed to be
extensible to other NRAO telescopes, should such opportunities arise. More
general information on the program structure and background information is
available in the Introduction to
the GBT Student Support Program. section.
A brief summary of the steps for
the application process follows.
- New applications to the program
may be submitted along with new GBT observing proposals at any proposal
deadline.
- Applications
begin with the Preliminary
Funding Application Form, available as the text file gbtstudentsupport.txt.
You should
download
(right click and choose Save Link As.. or Save Target As ....) this file,
read the
Terms
and Conditions
and then provide the information requested in the file.
- Send your completed file as an
attachment inside the GBT Proposal Submission Tool
along with the proposal at the time of proposal submission. (This is the
same scheme used to attach a scientific
justification document). Please do not rename this file; the file you
attach to the observing proposal should be named gbtstudentsupport.txt.
- Shortly after
proposal submission of the proposal you will receive notification of the receipt of
application for GBT Student Support (see
Introduction to the GBT Student Support Program.). If you do not
receive an acknowledgement within 5 days following the proposal deadline,
please contact
Carl Bignell.
- Shortly after the announcement of the disposition of
your GBT observing proposal, you will receive notification about the disposition of your
application for GBT Student Support. This latter notification will come
from
Joan Wrobel, the GBT Student Support Coordinator.
- If your application is
approved, then you will be required to fill in the
Final Funding Proposal
Budget Form and the
Budget Narrative Form
within 30 days of the start of the
scheduled observations related to your application . Funding is
contingent upon conditions outlined in the
General Provisions for
GBT Student Support.
