- Description
- Announcement of Opportunity Opportunity to host the Directorate Site of the U.S. National Solar Observatory The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) seeks responses from universities or consortia of organizations interested in hosting the future location of the National Solar Observatory (NSO) – an independent national center operated by AURA under a five-year cooperative agreement with the National Science Foundation (NSF). Currently, NSO operates at two separate locations (one in Tucson, Arizona and the other in Sunspot, New Mexico), and it soon will begin the construction of the Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) on the island of Maui, Hawai’i. After consultation with the NSF and with NSF approval, AURA has determined the need to consolidate the National Solar Observatory at a location that is optimal for the operations of the NSO and is beneficial for the future of ground-based solar physics in the United States. The full solicitation for proposals is posted at http://www.nso.edu and at http://www.aura-astronomy.org. Key Dates: PRE-LETTER OF INTENT BRIEFING: March 30, 2010 LETTER OF INTENT DUE DATE (required): April 30, 2010 SITE VISITS TO NSO MAY BEGIN: April 30, 2010 FULL PROPOSAL DEADLINE: December 30, 2010 Information about the NSO may be found at http://www.nso.edu Information about AURA may be found at http://www.aura-astronomy.org.
