Phase 2 Science Goals

Downloading an approved project from the archive will cause the Phase 1 Science Goals to be automatically copied over to the Program tab of the Project Tree and the project will open here. Technically speaking, the copied Science Goals are Phase 2 Science Goals, but their visible content is absolutely identical to that of their Phase 1 counterparts.

Note that PIs will no longer submit (or be able to edit) their Phase 2 SGs after they have been informed that their project has been approved. The conversion from Phase 1 to Phase 2 is now undertaken by the observatory. Any required changes to the contents of the SG will need to be communicated via a Helpdesk ticket.

Observatory staff can also create Phase 2 Science Goals from scratch, or create copies of existing ones. It is even possible to copy a Phase 1 SG into Phase 2.
