== Phase 2 ==

Principal Investigators (PIs) of proposals are notified of the outcome of the proposal review process by email.

The initial Phase II products will be generated by ALMA staff. PIs of highly rated proposals will be contacted by a scientist from their supporting ALMA Regional Centre (ARC) to review these Phase II products.

Phase II is the process by which an approved proposal is made executable and submitted to the observing queue in order to be subsequently run at the telescope (subject to various scheduling constraints). The main part of this is the automatic generation of the Scheduling Blocks that are used to control the telescopes during the observations.

Completion of Phase II by the PI is required for any ALMA project that is approved for admission to the observing queue with a grade A or B. Projects awarded grade C will overfill the observing queue to accommodate weather variations, and completion of Phase II for such projects may be deemed optional by the Observatory.

PIs will be contacted by their supporting ALMA Regional Centre (ARC) and provided with the name of a contact scientist to help PIs prepare their Phase II products. Each PI will then work with his/her ARC contact to ensure that the Phase II products are successfully prepared within the one-month window. This will be done using the ALMA Observing Tool. The full details of the process and policies for handling all changes to projects from Phase II onwards is available on ALMA Science portal.
