Subj: FWD: Call for Proposals - Year 2
March 8, 2000
Announcement and Call for Proposals
for the second year of the R&D Program for the Study of
the Physics and
Detectors for future e+e- Linear
Colliders.
We initiated a program to provide financial support for
the study of the
Physics and Detectors for future e+e- Linear Colliders a
little over a year
ago. A statement of the purpose of this program and a
description of the
procedures and format of the proposals can be found on
the web at
http://hepwww.physics.yale.edu/lc/proposal.html or, start
at the homepage
of the Worldwide e+e- Study, go to "American Activities,"
and from there click
on "Announcement for Linear Collider Detector Simulation
and Physics Studies,
Call for Proposals".
Year 1 of this Program (July 1999 - July 2000)
______________________________________________
The first round of proposals were due by March 15, 1999.
There were funding
requests from 20 groups, of which we were able to fund 11
groups. Total
funding approximated:
SLAC/DOE $200K
Fermilab/DOE $100K
NSF $40K
$340K
Almost all of the allocated funds were for half time
support of Post Docs for
Physics and Detector Simulation Studies. There was a
promise that productive
grants would be continued to provide for a second year of
support for these
Post Docs.
Year 2 of the Program (July 2000 - July 2001)
_____________________________________________
We have received promises from the labs to support the
second year of this
program at the level of:
SLAC/DOE $300K
Fermilab/DOE $150K
The NSF promised to try to double their level of support
over the first year,
depending, of course, on the quality of the proposals.
The procedures for proposals worked well last year, so we
will use the same
procedures again this year (see Procedures for Proposals
and Content of
Proposals). The due date for the second round of
proposals will be
May 1, 2000 - proposals due
Proposals should be sent to Professor Charles Prescott
who has agreed to chair
the selection committee again for the second year.

Proposals from New Groups
_________________________
who did not submit a proposal last year are not only
welcome, but encouraged.
Proposals funded last year
__________________________
These groups are encouraged to submit proposals again for
the second year of
the program. In addition to the items listed under
Content of Proposals, a
discussion should be included describing the progress
achieved in the first
year and the rationale for continued funding.
Proposals we were not able to fund last year
____________________________________________
These groups may wish to submit the same proposal as last
year or change them
in whatever way they feel is appropriate for the second
year of the program.
