Subaru Open Use Intensive ProgramsThe following proposals are regarded as "Intensive Programs". Purpose: Subaru Open Use Intensive Programs provide the opportunity for researchers to proceed with large programs of advanced study that can only be achieved with the unique capability of Subaru Telescope and its instruments and needs an allocation of significant telescope time. [Important notice for applicants] Given the large amount of telescope time allocated, the P.I. of the approved Intensive Program Proposal is under an implicit obligation to intensively devote to this project, as far as researches using the Subaru Telescope are concerned. In this sense, it is not desirable that anyone doubles as the P.I.'s of Intensive program and Normal program simultaneously. Accordingly, in case that Normal program proposals were submitted from the same P.I. of the running Internsive Program, such proposal may suffer some disadvantages in the assessment by TAC because of this guideline. 1. REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSION
2. PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONUse the same Application Form as for Normal Open Use proposals. Check the box in Entry 18 "Subaru Open Use Intensive Programs". The Scientific Justification must be described in English within 5 pages, and its direct Japanese translation may be attached. (i.e., not necessarily required). Please address the following points in the Scientific Justification:
The procedure of submitting proposals for Intensive Programs is the same as that for Normal Program submission. See Section 3 in "Call for Proposals" for more details. 3. ORAL REVIEWDate: early November 2008 (TBA)
There will be an Oral Review by the Time Allocation Committee, consisting of a short presentation followed by questions from the Committee. All PIs of Intensive Programs (or alternative persons selected from CoIs in case of unavoidable circumestances) must attend. If there are too many proposals to be reviewed in one day, there may be pre-selection for the Oral Review by the Committee based on the submitted proposals. Presentation via the TV conference system is only allowed for PIs staying at Subaru Telescope (Hilo office). Only domestic travel expense is supplied to the oral presenter. Whether a submitted proposal is accepted or not will be decided by the Committee based on both the oral
presentation and the referee assessments.
