[ASA] Gemini Large and Long Program Announcement of Opportunity

[Australian Gemini Office]

   The Gemini Observatory has issued the attached Announcement of 
Opportunity for Large and long programs (hereafter "large programs" or 
LPs). These are Principal Investigator-defined and -driven programs 
that, as a guideline, either require significantly more time than a 
partner typically approves for a single program or extend over two to 
six semesters, or both. Large programs are expected to promote 
collaborations across the partnership's communities; to have significant 
scientific impact; and normally to provide a homogeneous data set, 
potentially for more general use. The participating partners (US, 
Canada, Australia, and Argentina) will make available for LPs up to 20% 
of their time at each Gemini telescope over each of the next 6 semesters 
from the start of LP execution (Australia agrees to participate in the 
LP process through 2015, and Australian PIs are eligible for programs 
that will conclude by the end of 2015).

   Further details, including an FAQ are in the attached announcement 
(or see http://www.gemini.edu/node/12096). Letters of Intent to propose 
a LP must be received by email to largeprograms at gemini.edu by *February 
3, 2014*, while the LP proposals are due by *March 31, 2014*.

   AusGO would like to encourage all members of the Australian community 
to participate in this LP call, both as Principal or Co-Investigators, 
and stands ready to provide strategic and technical advice as required. 
Please direct any enquiries to ausgo at aao.gov.au.
