A short, one or two paragraph, summary of the main points:
- Scientific goals of the proposal
- Proposed observations
Science Introduction and Context
Topics to consider when writing this section.
- Background -- The broad picture.
- Why is star-formation important? (LYNN)
- What do we know about star-formation. We will likely trim this to suit our goals as the proposal matures? (LYNN)
- What are the big unknowns? (LYNN)
