ALMA Cycle 1 Call for Proposals is now open

The ALMA Director, on behalf of the partner organizations and all the personnel in Chile, East Asia, Europe and North America involved in bringing ALMA to Early Science readiness, is pleased to issue the Cycle 1 Call for Proposals.

We invite members of the astronomy community to propose scientific programs to be scheduled within the ALMA Early Science Cycle 1 period which we expect to start on January 1, 2013. This provides an important opportunity for Early Science from this cutting edge facility. The Cycle 1 period will span 10 months and any astronomer may submit proposals.
