Notice of Intent to propose an SMA Large Scale Project or ASIAA Key Project

  • The SMA is currently running two SAO Large Scale programs which will be ongoing for several semesters. At this time we will not be accepting further SAO Large Scale proposals for the 2023B semester. Please contact the TAC Chair if you have questions.

  • ASIAA Key Projects will be accepted for 2023B from eligible PIs; details regarding this call can be found here
  • The deadlines for ASIAA Key Projects for consideration in the 2023B cycle are:

    • Notice of Intent for ASIAA Key Projects: Details
    • Full submission deadline: 21 September 2023 4:00am Taipei (20 Sep 20:00 GMT/UTC)


    For consideration in a given cycle, this notice is required ahead of full submission, in advance of the deadline for regular proposals for that semester, as part of our preparation for the process of reviewing large scale project proposals (more information is here). Notices of Intent submitted here are for our informational purposes only and are not considered binding. If you are even considering proposing a large scale project, please submit this Notice. You are under no obligation to then submit a full proposal.

    The project description in the NoI must include a brief scientific justification, an estimate of the time and observing conditions required to perform the observations and the rationale for the use of the SMA as opposed to another facility. The list of expected Co-I's is needed to avoid conflicts of interest in seeking outside expert reviewers if necessary.

    Questions may be sent to sma [hyphen] largescale [at] cfa [dot] harvard [dot] edu.
