As mentioned in the previous Newsletter, the CTIO policy on providing travel support for graduate student thesis observations has been modified. This represents a modification of the previous policy, where support was provided only to unaccompanied observers. The nature of the support itself has not been changed.
Support is restricted to one run per semester.
However, it is ultimately the proposer's responsibility to provide the required letter, and incomplete proposals will not be treated as qualifying theses. Please also note that, continuing past practice, only programs identified as thesis work at the time of submission can qualify.
