Program

All times are approximate. The Proposing for NRAO Instruments time slot between 11:35 and noon will consist of two parallel sessions, one focused on the ALMA Observing Tool (OT), and the other on the EVLA/VLBA/GBT Proposal Submission Tool (PST).  The plenary afternoon session will be EVLA focused (Observation Preparation Tool, CASA reduction of EVLA data) but should also be useful to those whose primary interest is ALMA.

Connect with NRAO

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."
