To prepare the North American community to fully participate in the ALMA Call for Proposals and archivel research, the North American ALMA Science Center (NAASC) organizes proposal preparation and data processing workshops. In addition, the North American community is encouraged to request to host ALMA proposal preparation workshops at their home institutions. These events are one to two day workshops organized and led by experienced local postdocs and senior graduate students from the ALMA Ambassadors program and/or NAASC staff with a focus on the capabilities of ALMA, mm/submm interferometry observing techniques, and the tools required to design ALMA observing programs and submit proposals.
