8.6 Requested Resources

8.6.1 Primary and Parallel Orbits

(This item appears in the APT form only for GO proposals)

Enter the total number of orbits requested for primary observations and parallel observations. Consult Chapter 6 of the HST Primer for instructions on how to calculate the appropriate number of orbits. Note that only whole orbits can be requested, and only whole orbits will be allocated. In general, only the boxes for 'This Cycle' need to be filled out. However, long-term proposals (see Section 3.2.3) should provide a year-by-year breakdown of the orbits requested by also filling out the boxes for 'Next Cycle' (i.e., Cycle 14) and 'After Next' (i.e., Cycle 15).

8.6.2 Total Targets

(This item appears in the APT form only for SNAP proposals)

Specify the total number of targets requested. Note that multiple visits on the same source should be counted as multiple targets; see Section 3.3.

8.6.3 Budget

(This item appears in the APT form only for AR and Theory proposals)

Please enter a U.S. dollar figure for your total budget request. See Chapter 12 for details on Grant Policies and allowable costs. Make sure that all applicable indirect costs and overheads are included in the listed amount.
