Please be aware that the submission functionality of Polaris is under active development such that this page may very well be out-of-date. Please bear with us while we get around to updating this page.

Last updated 2024-03-06 Polaris alpha version.

Submit your Proposal

Once you are happy with the details of your Proposal, and it has passed the server side validation checks you may submit it for review.

proposal submission ready

You will have to select the Proposal Cycle from the drop-down menu to which you wish to submit your Proposal. Once selected the page will display the submission deadline for that cycle.

Server side validation checks currently include:

  • the Proposal Title, Summary, and Kind attributes are set (the App prevents you from leaving any of these blank)
  • at least one Observation added with at least one Timing Window
  • which requires at least one Target and at least one Technical Goal

As we develop the server side validation checks this list will grow. For example, we'd expect that a Proposal must have a Scientific Justification and a Technical Justification to be valid for review. Indeed, we expect this list to expand significantly as we put Polaris in to beta-testing.

If a Proposal doesn't pass the validation checks then you will be presented with the following page for the Submit tab of your proposal, which lists the problems.

Here we have created another proposal but haven't added any Targets, Technical Goals, or Observations.
