10.2 Phase II Submission

Successful GO/SNAP proposers must submit a Phase II program which provides complete details of the proposed observations. Detailed instructions on the preparation of Phase II programs are provided in the STScI Phase II documentation. Complete observational details must be provided by the Phase II submission deadline, approximately one and one half months after notification of the Phase I outcome (i.e., mid-May 2004). Accurate target coordinates must also be supplied at this time, except for certain Targets of Opportunity (or in other exceptional circumstances, provided that these circumstances were clearly described in the Phase I proposal). Failure to submit a Phase II program by the required deadline will result in loss of the time allocation. Program changes after the Phase II deadline are not generally allowed, but may be allowed in special situations. The policies that apply to such changes are described in the Policy Document for the Telescope Time Review Board (TTRB), available on the Web.

Proposers are not allowed to make changes to the list of investigators (PI and CoIs) after acceptance of the Phase I proposal, unless permission for this is granted by the Head of the Science Policies Division. Requests for this should be well-justified, and must be submitted to spd_staff@stsci.edu.
