2. Scientific Program Overview More information in Apendix I


The Scientific Program Overview (SPO) is only required for large field campaigns. The purpose of this document is to establish the overall scientific justification of the campaign and to describe all associated components, NSF and other. The SPO should only list two PIs and they should be the ones listed on the EDO, and must be submitted as a formal pro- posal to NSF through its online module, Fastlane, following the requirements specified in the NSF Grant Proposal Guide: www.eol.ucar.edu/deployment/request-info/guidelines-for-writing-a-scientific-program-overview- spo-document


3. Experiment Design Overview More information in Apendix II


The Experiment Design Overview (EDO) is only required for large field campaigns. The purpose of the EDO is to describe the overall concept of the experimental design, resource needs, and management of the field campaign, and to provide reviewers with a thorough understanding of the scientific issues that will be addressed by the fieldwork. The EDO must be submitted to the LAOF Program Director at NSF and to the LAOF Request Coordinator with an electronic copy to the relevant Facility Managers and NSF Program Officers. Please note that the EDO should list only two PIs, and they should be the same as the ones listed on the SPO. www.eol.ucar.edu/deployment/request-info/guidelines-for-writing-an-experiment-design-over- view-edo-document


4. NSF Scientific Grant Proposal


To be eligible for a facility allocation, all projects requesting NSF LAOF support must be associated with one or more peer-reviewed scientific proposals submitted to NSF, NCAR, or an equivalent funding agency. The grant proposal must explicitly state and justify the need for the requested platforms and instruments. Guidelines for writing a Scientific Grant Proposals can be found on the NSF website: www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=gpg


5. Facility Request Form(s)


The Facility Request Form is considered the most important document in determining the feasibility of a proposed project. Focused primarily on the experiment design, the request form covers several areas, including platform operations, operations coordination, com- munications, data services, and project management. Forms are different for NCAR/EOL, UW, CSU, CSWR, and CIRPAS and can be found on the EOL and LAOF partner organiza- tion websites: www.eol.ucar.edu/deployment/request-info/forms/request-forms-for-nsf-lower-atmospheric- observing-facilities


6. Science & Experiment Design Overview Presentation Slides


To facilitate project review discussions, the requesting PI is asked to provide a short pre- sentation along with EDO and/or the Facility Request Form. The presentation, which is limited to no more than five slides, should summarize scientific objectives, hypotheses to be tested, requested resources, and the experiment design of the proposed campaign.
