Cardiff PATT Rolling Grant

这笔赠款将资助加的夫工作人员使用望远镜的旅费。这是一笔持续的滚动赠款，我们已经持有多年。我们在此请求延长这笔赠款，每年的旅费为25K GB，外加相关的管理费用和FEC。在过去的两年赠款期间，出现了异常情况，我们在这笔赠款上的支出显著减少。这是因为我们在研究中使用的主要英国设施是JCMT，特别是Scuba和SCUBA2。在本报告所述期间，由于最后的技术故障，Scuba已经退役，联合技术中心关闭了6个月，为SCUBA2的到来做准备，SCUBA2的交付被推迟到2008年。这意味着，从2006年4月到现在，我们的观察员没有一人访问过JCMT，这通常是我们的主要观测设施。此外，阿雷西博望远镜因重新粉刷碟子而关闭了6个月。我们在阿雷西博的长期计划中走在了前列。因此，阿雷西博是我们使用的主要非英国观测设施之一。这也减少了我们访问这个望远镜的次数。然而，在即将到来的两年期间，我们预计活动和望远镜旅行将恢复到正常水平。JCMT已经恢复在线，我们将再次开始在那里进行观测。事实上，这已经开始了，因为我们的一名工作人员计划在2008年1月进行一次观察(专利编号M/07B/U01)。SCUBA2将于2008年初交付，因此JCMT的所有遗留调查都将开始。我们正在领导一系列关于JCMT的遗留调查，因此将在未来两年内大力参与那里的观察。另外，阿雷西博的升级已经完成，所以我们在那里的观察也再次开始。因此，我们将再次大力参与观察年龄调查。我们观察到的所有其他望远镜也将继续定期使用。因此，我们要求继续提供这笔赠款，每年提供25K GB的资金，外加工作人员的相关管理费用和FEC。我们已经要求PI和每个合作伙伴的5%的时间。这包括研究人员自己往返望远镜的时间，以及观察本身的时间，加上监督PDRA进行观察的时间。我们基于每个研究人员或他们的博士后每学期一次的旅行来估算这个数字。我们还要求行政助理Nicola Hunt将10%的时间花在赠款上，为工作人员预订机票和酒店，并管理补助金的旅费申请。在我们关于赠款前两年从2006年4月至2008年3月期间的活动的报告中(见所附电子表格)，我们不得不估计方案最后6个月的活动。据我们所知，有三次观察跑动已经获得了时间，一次给了帕克斯，一次给了JCMT，一次给了阿雷西博。工作人员还提交了08A学期的其他一些观察报告。我们已经选择了其中的两个样本(一个到JCMT，一个到WHT)，根据我们对望远镜时间的典型成功率，将其包括在电子表格的末尾。在这里，我们再次估算了成本。

This grant will fund the travel of Cardiff members of staff to telescopes. It is an ongoing rolling grant, which we have held for a number of years. We here request renewal of this grant at level funding of £25k per annum of travel, plus associated overheads and FEC. In the past 2-year grant period an anomaly has arisen, and our spending on this grant has been significantly reduced. This is because the main UK facility which we use in our research is the JCMT, and in particular SCUBA and SCUBA2. During this reporting period SCUBA had already been retired from service due to final technical failure, the JCMT was shut for 6 months to prepare for the arrival of SCUBA2, and the delivery of SCUBA2 was delayed until 2008. This has meant that between April 2006 and the present time, none of our observers have visited the JCMT, which is normally our principal observing facility. In addition the Arecibo telescope was closed for 6 months for repainting the dish. We are leading the AGES long-term proposal on Arecibo. Hence Arecibo is one of the main non-UK observing facilities that we use. This has reduced our number of visits to this telescope also. However, in the forthcoming 2-year period we anticipate a return to our normal level of activity and telescope travel. JCMT is back on-line, and we will start observing there again. In fact, this has already begun, as one of our staff members has an observing run scheduled in January 2008 (PATT number M/07B/U01). SCUBA2 is due for delivery in early 2008, so all of the JCMT legacy surveys will begin. We are leading a number of legacy surveys on JCMT, and so will be heavily involved in observing there in the next 2 years. In addition, the Arecibo upgrade has been completed, so our observing there is also beginning again. We will therefore once more be heavily involved in the observing of the AGES survey. All of the other telescopes on which we observe will also continue to be used regularly. Therefore, we request a continuation of this grant at level funding of £25k per annum, plus associated overheads and FEC for staff. We have asked for 5% of the time of the PI and each of the co-Is. This is to cover the investigators' own time spent travelling to and from telescopes, as well as the observing time itself, plus the time spent supervising pdra's who are going observing. We are basing this estimate on 1 trip per semester for each investigator or their post-docs. We also request 10% of administration assistant Nicola Hunt for time spent on the grant booking flights and hotels for staff members and administering travel claims for the grant. In our report on activity in the previous 2-year period of the grant from April 2006 to March 2008 (see attached spreadsheet) we have had to estimate activity for the final 6 months of the programme. There are 3 observing runs which we know about, which have already been awarded time, one to Parkes, one to JCMT and one to Arecibo. There are also a number of other observing runs for semester 08A which have been submitted by members of staff. We have chosen a sample of 2 of these (one to JCMT and one to WHT) to include on the end of the spreadsheet, based on our typical success rates for telescope time. Here again we have estimated costs.
