02 February 2008: The DOWs, including the two 'conventional' DOWs and the multi-beam Rapid-Scan DOW, have become National Science Facility (NSF) National Facilities. Aspiring PI's can request DOWs for NSF-funded and other projects using procedures analagous to those used for SPOL, CHILL and other facilities. Deployment costs for NSF-funded projects are supported through the 'Deployment Pool'. As procedures and forms are in development, interested parties should contact CSWR directly using the contact information at the bottom of this page.
