The NRAO Student Observing Support (SOS) Committee met in April and August 2008 to discuss the proposals that were submitted during the previous trimesters. The SOS committee, composed of five faculty members from U.S. universities, discussed the science case and student support application for each proposal. You will see below those that were selected to receive funding. Complete information on the Student Observing Support program is available on the NRAO web site.
