CALL FOR PROPOSALS

                         GLOBAL 3mm VLBI ARRAY

                       Deadline:  3 August 2020



     VLBI proposals for observing at 3mm wavelength (86 GHz) using:

     the VLBA,  GBT*,  EFFELSBERG,  PICO VELETA,  NOEMA**,  ONSALA,  

     METSAEHOVI,  YEBES  and  KVN  telescopes should be submitted by


                       3 AUGUST 2020 (UT 21:00)
                       ========================


    GMVA proposals submitted by the 2020 August 03 deadline will be 

    considered for scheduling in 2021 Session I (Apr 22 - Apr 27), or 
    later sessions.

     ** GMVA proposals requesting the phased ALMA telescope should not 
     ** be submitted at the 3 Aug 2020 (semester 2021A) deadline.

             =============================================
             |                                           |
             | ALL PROPOSALS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED USING   |
             |                                           |
             | THE NRAO PROPOSAL SUBMISSION TOOL (PST):  |
             |                                           |

             =============================================

    Complete information on the GMVA is available at the GMVA website.  
    Ongoing special considerations are documented in the GMVA section of 
    the VLBA Observational Status Summary; new features and/or special cases 

    are cited here.

    The use of the PST requires registration by all proposers, 
    including co-investigators, in the NRAO User Database.

    The GMVA will record at the highest bitrate which instrumentation and 
    resources permit. Currently all telescopes will record at 4096 Mbps 
    (except the KVN, which will record in a 1024 Mbps mode).

    All data will be correlated at the Bonn DiFX software correlator.  

    * The GBT may be requested for GMVA observations if a sufficiently
    compelling justification is given in the proposal but the amount

    of time available has been reduced.

    ** Note that the availability of NOEMA (Plateau de Bure) for 

    GMVA Session I in 2021 and later sessions is not confirmed.

         KVN must be specified by entering "KVN" as "Other" entry in the PST.

    For further details on proposing, including the possibility of
    additional support observations at 7mm (43 GHz), please consult
    the administrative and technical information hosted at the MPIfR:
