Guidelines for UH participation in the CFHT Community Surveys

Interested members of the UH community will have the opportunity to participate in the CFHT Community Surveys under the following guidelines.

1. They must propose for, and follow the rules for, a UH Large Collaborative Program for which the rules are spelled out in the UH TAC Procedures, July 2022 available on the IfA internal web pages.
2. The proposal should be consistent with the relevant Community Survey proposal and the UH Large Collaborative Program (UHLCP) team should participate in the relevant Community Survey proposal development.
3. Graduate students and postdocs of UHLCP team members are included automatically in the UHLCP.
4. The UH TAC will follow its procedures and decide whether and how much time to award a given UHLCP team.
5. Under the present rules a UHLCP can only be for a maximum of three years, but a subsequent proposal is allowed. Thus the commitment to the Community Survey will initially be for only three years, with a followup proposal for the remaining 3 years of the Community Survey.
6. Only successful UHLCP team members and their graduate students and postdocs will have access to the CFHT Community Survey data prior to public release.
7. If a UHLCP succeeds in being awarded time by the UH TAC, the PI of the UHLCP will be the point of contact with the CFHT Community Survey Working Group.
