What types of proposals are allowed?
The Swift project will provide funds for three broad areas of research: theoretical investigations of GRBs, new GRB projects, and follow-up GRB observations. In Cycle 6, Swift would especially like to encourage the development of rapid IR ground-based response to potentially high redshift GRBs, therefore special consideration will be given to such projects. Proposals to develop these capabilities will be allowed to exceed the $40K budget ceiling imposed for all other proposals. See the ROSES-09 Amendment for Swift Cycle 6 for further details.
