Two Important Items Concerning Swift Cycle 3

[terri@milkyway.gsfc.nasa.gov]

If you are interested in being a Swift Cycle 3 proposer or reviewer,
please note the following items:

Potential Cycle 3 Reviewers:

   There was a typo in the e-mail address of our earlier message.   If
you are interested in being a Cycle 3 reviewer, please send your name,
areas of scientific expertise, and the e-mail, phone, and address where you
can be reached (from Aug. 1 - Oct. 1) to "peer_review@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov".
(Not "milkyway" as the previous message specified.)  Our apologies for
the error.


Cycle 3 Proposers:

   The deadline for proposal submission is 4:30 PM EDT, July 28 (a Friday).
Your institution MUST submit your proposal electronically using the NSPIRES
system, which requires registration - please register soon, if you have not
done so already! Be sure to give your institution enough time to submit the
proposal on your behalf. Register at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/.

PROPOSERS AT FOREIGN INSTITUTIONS, PLEASE SEE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

Also, for those proposing TOO observations, the AKBAR/RPS system at GSFC
will be used to collect target information - you will need to submit your
target info by the proposal deadline.  For further information on all of
this, please see:

   http://heasarcdev.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/swift/proposals/swiftgi.html#howto

PIs at Foreign Institutions:

   Once you have an NSPIRES account, you will need to affiliate with the
NASA Swift Science Center. (This will allow your proposal to be considered,
even though it originates from a foreign institution.) Follow these directions,
and please note - it may take several days for your affiliation to be approved -
do it as early as possible!

To set your affiliation:

      Login to NSPIRES
      Choose "Account Management" from your selection choices.
      Choose "Affliations"
      Click on "Add Affiliation"
      Now type in "NASA Swift Science Center" and complete the Affiliation request.

You will be notified once your affiliation has been approved. DO NOT wait
until the last minute to release your proposal to the SSC for submission.
In order to make sure all proposals are submitted by the deadline, we
recommend you release your proposal to the SSC no later than Friday,
July 21, 2006.

If you have any questions about Swift Cycle 3, please send them to:

Good luck to all in Cycle 3!
