Cardiff PATT Rolling Grant

这笔拨款将资助卡迪夫的工作人员去看望远镜。这是一项持续的滚动赠款，我们已持有多年。我们在此要求以每年25,000英镑的差旅资金水平，加上相关的管理费用和FEC续期。在过去两年的拨款期间，出现了一种反常现象，我们的拨款大幅减少。这是因为我们在研究中使用的主要英国设备是JCMT，特别是SCUBA和SCUBA2。在本报告期间，由于最后的技术故障，SCUBA已经退役，JCMT关闭了6个月，为SCUBA2的到来做准备，并且SCUBA2的交付推迟到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，阿雷西博望远镜关闭了6个月，以重新粉刷盘子。我们正在领导AGES关于阿雷西博的长期提案。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，在接下来的两年里，我们预计活动和望远镜旅行将恢复到正常水平。JCMT重新上线了，我们将再次开始在那里观察。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月进行观测（部件编号M/07B/U01）。SCUBA2预计在2008年初交付，因此所有JCMT遗留调查将开始。我们正在领导对JCMT的一些遗留调查，因此将在未来两年内大量参与观察。此外，阿雷西博的升级已经完成，所以我们在那里的观测也重新开始了。因此，我们将再次积极参与对AGES调查的观察。我们观测的所有其他望远镜也将继续正常使用。因此，我们要求以每年2.5万英镑的水平继续拨款，加上相关的管理费用和员工的FEC。我们要求PI和每个co- i的时间为5%。这包括了研究人员往返于望远镜之间的时间，以及观测时间本身，以及监督去观测的人的时间。我们是基于每个研究者或他们的博士后每学期一次旅行的估计。我们还要求行政助理Nicola Hunt支付10%的费用，用于为工作人员预订机票和酒店以及管理补助金的旅行索赔。在2006年4月至2008年3月前两年的资助活动报告（见附表）中，我们必须估计计划最后6个月的活动。我们知道有三次观测运行，已经被判了时间，一次是帕克斯，一次是JCMT，一次是阿雷西博。还有一些其他的观察运行的学期08A已提交的工作人员。根据望远镜时间的典型成功率，我们选择了其中的2个样本（一个到JCMT，一个到WHT），并将其包含在电子表格的末尾。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.
