TAC Report Page

The Telescope Time Allocation (TTA) review process began to use a panel-based proposal review system in 2011.  This included NRAO's North American facilities: the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT),  and the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA).  In 2017, the Green Bank Observatory (GBO) and the Long Baseline Observatory (LBO) were created to run the GBT and VLBA, respectively, and therefore between semesters 17A and 19A the GBO and LBO maintained separate Telescope Allocation Committee (TAC) Report pages.  In 2019, the VLBA was merged back into the NRAO.  The table below summarizes this history and includes links to the various TAC Report pages that include proposal statistics and LST/GST pressure plots.

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..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
