Hubble Space Telescope Call for Proposals for Cycle 17

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 the total orbits requested for Coordinated or Pure Parallel observations. If only ACS auto-parallel observations are being taken, then enter'0' for the number of parallel observations. 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 3.2.5) should provide a year-by-year breakdown of the orbits requested by also filling out the boxes for `Next Cycle' (i.e., Cycle 18) and `After Next' (i.e., Cycle 19).

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 to 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 estimated total budget request. See Chapter 12 for details on Grant Policies and allowable costs. This figure will be used by the TAC/panels as a guide to the required resources, so please ensure that all applicable indirect costs and overheads are included in this estimate. Successful proposals will be required to submit a detailed budget, for review by the Financial Review Committee. Minor modifications (up to ~20%) to the total amount requested can be made at that juncture.

8.6.4 Budget Explanation

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

This is an optional field that may be used to explain the budget request. It is a 40-character, free text field. An example would be ``Budget to be split over 2 years''.
