[Nsa] NEW Guidelines on Submission of Solicited and Unsolicited Proposals by NCAR to NSF

[Valerie Koch]

Good Morning,

I've attached the document that Roger mentions in his email below.

I'll be sending out further guidance to the administrators later today 
detailing the processes that will be implemented within B&P to manage 
the changes associated with the 2-month salary limitation and the 2-page 
document required for each proposal.

As Roger mentioned, I'm happy to work with you and answer any questions 
that you have.

Valerie
