Reimbursement for NOIRLab Approved Travel

NOTE: Due to budget constraints, the current NSF grant that supports the open access program no longer includes funding for observing travel. We can make a limited number of exceptions for students in need of travel funding. Contact Gail Schaefer (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) to inquire about availability.

We still cover lodging on the mountain for NOIRLab observers.

Follow instructions in Lodging at the CHARA Array to reserve a room on the mountain.

To be reimbursed for NOIRLab approved travel please complete the following before the start of the observing run:
