Can you tell us what percentage of the yearly AODP funds available will be allocated specifically for laser guide star development work?
The only explicit constraint on the size of awards is the amount of funding projected to be available. The funding level is now identified at $2.9M in the first year, with a projected (but not guaranteed) level of $4M next and following years. The only guidelines for distribution of funds are those in the Announcement of Opportunity and the Road Map, both accessible from the AODP Web page. Briefly though, these documents do not give a percentage allocation.
