Help for Fermi-VERITAS Joint Program Notice of Intent (NOI)

If you are planning to submit a proposal to participate in the Fermi-VERITAS Joint Program for the forthcoming cycle you are asked to submit a 'Notice of Intent' (NOI) by no later than two months prior to the final proposal deadline (refer to Fermi Guest Investigator Program description for specific dates). This is a recommendation rather than a requirement: joint proposals may still be submitted even if a NOI has not been submitted. However, there are a number of technical and programmatic constraints involved with the Fermi-VERITAS program. The NOIs will be reviewed by the Fermi Science Support Center and by a VERITAS collaboration representative with the goal of identifying any such issues that may affect your proposal and to provide constructive feedback in advance of your final proposal preparation. We further note that a NOI is not a firm commitment to submit a proposal. All NOI materials will be treated as proprietary in the same manner as are all other Fermi GI proposal materials.

Proposal Description

This PDF document should contain a short description of your desired VERITAS observations and planned use of the resulting data. It is expected that one page of text or less should suffice, but up to two pages are permissible. Details such as a specific target list and any scheduling requirements should be specified as possible. Refer to the "VERITAS Technical Guidelines and Observer's Tools" section of the Fermi-VERITAS Joint Program web page as a guideline.
