is one of the world's premier research facilities
for radio astronomy. NRAO operates powerful,
advanced radio telescopes spanning the western
hemisphere. Scientists from around the world
use these instruments to probe fundamental
questions in astronomy and physics.

| NRAO Large Proposal Call for October 2, 2006 Proposal
Deadline
To facilitate science projects that require significant amounts of
telescope time, NRAO encourages the submission of Large Proposals. Large
Proposals may be addressed to Legacy projects that are of interest and
value to the community generally or to Key projects addressing major
scientific problems and issues. Large Proposals can also be aimed at
long-term time domain problems. Depending on proposal pressure and
quality, it is NRAO's intention to grant more Large Proposal time than in
past cycles, with as much as 25 percent to 50 percent of the total
telescope time granted to Large Proposals over the next year and in the
future. Prospective proposers are reminded that the next Large Proposal
deadline for the NRAO telescopes is October 2, 2006. At this deadline, we
are adding the GBT to the Large Proposal call in addition to the VLA and
VLBA.
Additional information about this NRAO Large Proposals Call is on page
3 of the July 2006 NRAO Newsletter.
A one-day Legacy Projects Workshop was held at the Array Operations
Center in Socorro, NM on May 17, 2006. The program and presentations from
this workshop are available on-line.
