7 7 National Optical Astronomy Observatory National Solar Observatory NOAO/NSO cooperative agreement Competed in 2001 AURA retained as the management organization Sep 1, 2002 – Sep 30, 2007 Management Review Aug 2006 Based on the review AST recommended no recompetion; NSF & NSB concurred CA extended to Mar 31, 2009 Decision made to split the joint CA into two, one for each observatory Allows for separate management in the future. Gives NSO more visibility in the Federal budget.

8 8 National Solar Observatory Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy AURA, Inc: not for profit corp. in DC; very small headquarters staff AURA President Wm Smith reports to AURA Board of Directors NOAO and NSO Directors report independently to AURA President AURA receives advice from a community-based Solar Observatory Council – meets twice annually Director receive advice from community-based User Committees – meet annually AURA has solicited proposals for a new institutional home for NSO.

9 9 National Solar Observatory NSF Management – key elements PM Craig Foltz PM Tom Barnes PM Jeff Pier 2010-present PM Craig Foltz Annual Program Plan and Annual Report bundled. Annual Long Range Plan (5 year look ahead) Quarterly Reports: programmatic and financial PO attendance at Council meetings, Users committees Current PO has overseen ATST since 2003 NSF discussing the programmatic home for solar research within the agency. NSF discussing the programmatic home for solar research within the agency.

10 National Solar Observatory NSF Budget Management Funding flows through Cooperative Support Agreements (CSAs) Individual SPOs keep the budgets and management distinct Operations and Maintenance ATST Construction - ARRA ATST Construction - MREFC ARRA and MREFC funds cannot be mixed. NSO funding actions are typically administered on a quarterly basis. Other funding actions (interagency transfers; e.g., AFOSR -> NSO) are asynchronous.

11 National Solar Observatory Budgets FY 2008/2009/2010 NSO: $7.85M; $7.83M; $9.10M (ATST D&D not included; ~$2M per year) $1.40M from ARRA for infrastructure improvements in FY09 Interagency funds add typically $1.5M / yr. ATST Construction $7M of MREFC in FY 2009; $13M in FY 2010 $146M of ARRA in FY 2010
