Change to NASA CDAPS Proposal Submission Process

We wanted to draw your attention to a change in the way that proposals to NASA’s Cassini Data Analysis and Participating Scientist program (CDAPS) will be submitted this year. We will be testing out a new two-step proposal submission process for this program. This means that a Step-1 proposal (a glorified notice of intent) is required to later submit a normal (i.e., full, 15-page) proposal, which is now called the Step-2 proposal. The Step-1 proposals are due March 23, 2012. The full Step-2 proposals are due May 4, 2012.
