The Phase 1 Proposal: Basic Details
To submit a proposal to ALMA, it is necessary to provide a number of administrative details, before going on to define one or more Science Goals. The former are covered in this chapter, whilst Science Goals are discussed in Chapter 5.
The Project node (common to both Phase 1 and 2) contains the Principal Investigator (PI) and Main Project Information panels, with the following fields:
- Select PI...: This opens a tool that allows the PI to be selected from the user database.
- Project: The title of the project can be entered here and is limited to 120 characters.
- Assigned Priority: Not yet used.
- Project Code: A unique code for the project, assigned automatically upon its first submission. The format consists of four separate fields:
- Year of submission (4 digits)
- Period of submission (single digit or, for DDT proposals, a single character)
- Order of submission (5 digits)
- Letter Code (single character).
For example, the first DDT submission of Cycle 4 will have the code 2016.A.0001.S, if it is a Regular proposal.
