All: A plan has now been formulated for the evaluation of all responses submitted to ARC's 30 May call for proposals regarding post-2008 science operations at APO: Proposals will be ranked based on their science merit, management and technical approach, perceived fundability, and resonance with ARC long-term goals and interests. Each proposal will be given separate science and technical/management reviews. The science review will be done electronically by two or three experts in the field, chosen by ARC, who will be either ARC scientists or experts from outside of ARC. The technical/management review of the proposals will be carried out by Ed Turner, Rich Kron, Suzanne Hawley, Bruce Gillespie, and one or two others who will be selected for their technical/management expertise from within or outside ARC institutions. Note that if proposers wish that all or part of their proposals be reviewed only by ARC scientists or staff, they should so indicate. The review process will be conducted with the goal of providing the ARC Board of Governors a recommendation for a concrete and coordinated plan of selected program(s) by the time of its annual meeting in November. ARC-sanctioned formal proposals to funding agencies would then be prepared and submitted.
