Kepler Guest Observer Program

Guest Observer Proposal Preparation

The following table summarizes the content of PI-compiled material for the support of Kepler GO proposals. This compiled package is to be uploaded to NSPIRES during the process of submiting electronic proposals. Descriptions for the content of each constituent are provided in sec 2.3 of the 2009 NRA handbook. The right-hand column provides page limits for the package constituents. Page limits on this web site override the NRA-generic limits within the handbook. Caveats to the page limits are provided as footnotes. The completed package upload must not exceeed 15 pages with the one exception where the target table exceeds 1 page. In these instances the page limit is 14 + the number of target table pages. Non-US PIs should not submit budget material. PIs should not feel compelled to meet the page limits, but must submit all items appropriate to their proposal.
