Why would an investigator at a foreign institution submit a Cycle 2 proposal?
All investigators may request observing time on telescopes available through the Fermi-NRAO and Fermi-NOAO Cooperative Arrangements whether or not they are based at US institutions. Also, all investigators may request LAT pointed observations. However, an investigator at a foreign institution cannot receive funding from the Fermi GI program, but co-investigators at US institutions may request funding in proportion to their participation in the proposed research. Finally, an investigator at a foreign institution may use a positive evaluation of their proposal by the Fermi GI program peer review panel to secure funding by a foreign agency.
