TITLE OF YOUR PROPOSAL

PI: A. Author

1. Abstract

Your concise abstract goes here. Please use the same abstract as in the Remote Proposal System (RPS) form.

2. Description of the Proposed Program

A) Scientific Rationale:

Here you can give the scientific background of your proposed study.

B) Immediate Objective:

Here you should state what you are proposing to observe and what the goals of the proposed study are.

3. Justification of Requested Observing Time, Feasibility and Visibility

The requested observing time, instrument modes, and any constraints have to be explained in detail here. In particular, give the expected significance of detection, count rates and fluxes, along with errors and background estimates for each of the instruments that are relevant to your study. Make sure that you check for bright stars within the UVOT field of view that might prohibit UVOT observations.

Proposers must clearly describe how their proposal capitalizes on the unique capabilities of Swift.

If more than one target is proposed, give the priority of each target in case only some of your targets are accepted.

If this is a monitoring program, give the cadence of observations and all time constraints.

If this is a ToO proposal, explain and justify the trigger criteria and give a realistic estimate of the probability that the ToO will be triggered.

4. Report on Previous and Related Programs

Here you can report on your previous studies (Swift or non-Swift) that are related to this proposal.

5. Cost Overview

If you are requesting funding, give a very brief (a few sentences only) description of how funds would be spent and the scale of workforce needed to carry out the project.

6. NASA Strategic Objectives

Each proposal must address one or more NASA strategic objective as outlined in the ROSES Summary of Solicitation. Give one or two sentences here how your proposed study fits into one or more of these strategic objectives.
