 The HEASARC's
Remote Proposal System (RPS) is an automated service providing
investigators from around the world an easy-to-use facility for submitting
proposals in response to NASA Research Announcements.
RPS...
- verifies proposal data for completeness and consistency,
- enables scientists to store proposal information
from session to session,
- makes adding target information to proposals easy, and
- generates LaTeX or PostScript versions of the proposal forms.

The following RPS proposal form<% $num_cycles == 1 ? ' is' : 's are' %> currently available for the following mission<% $num_missions == 1 ? '' : 's' %>:

In order to access <% $num_cycles == 1 ? 'this proposal form' : 'any of these proposal forms' %>, you must first
join the appropriate ARK group<% $num_cycles == 1 ? '' : '(s)' %>.

Our records show that there are no current proposal cycles supported by
the HEASARC's Remote Proposal System.
