A Letter of Support (LOS) can be solicited from the FCE Lead PI for research proposals
related to the overall mission of the FCE program. The proposal PI should contact the
scientists presently involved in the FCE program, whose research is most closely related
to the proposal's topic. This can be achieved through contacting the identified individual
scientists directly or by contacting the pertinent Working Group leaders for assistance
(see website link). These contacts should be made well in advance of submission deadline
for proposals, if an LOS is requested. Individuals requesting an LOS should then provide
to the FCE lead PI the following materials:
a. A description of the proposal (hypothesis, objectives and approach) and a clear justification of its relation to the on-going FCE program.
b. How (if funded) this research will benefit the FCE-LTER program and how data will be made available to FCE scientists.
c. A description of required logistical support (if any) from the FCE and means of compensating for that support (if necessary).
