The Proposal Management System (PMS)

Proposals should be submitted through the Proposal Management System (PMS) at URL: http://pms.iram.fr/pms/http://pms.iram.fr/pms/

The editor of the proposal will have to create a PMS account to be able to login and prepare/submit their proposals. To do so, it is sufficient to click on the URL above and to follow the instructions on-screen that guide the proposal editor through the submission process. The submission procedure consists in filling in an on-line form with the details of the requested observations (source coordinates, receiver setups, array configuration, etc.), and to upload a single file in pdf format containing the scientific and technical justification. A LATEX template is provided from the PMS submission page. This file may be customized, but proposers should respect the following requirements: (1) a normal proposal may contain up to two pages of text describing the scientific aims and technical description (4 pages for a Large Program, see below) (2) you may add up to two pages of figures, tables, and references, and (3) the font size must be 11 pt or larger.

For a proposal to be complete, PMS requires that all authors validate their identity (e-mail and affiliation) and their participation to the proposal before the deadline. PMS will be opened for submission of new proposals about three weeks before the deadline. Proposers may modify their proposals in PMS until the deadline, in which case the proposal has to be resubmitted after its modification. Please avoid last minute submissions when the network could be congested.
