Starting July 1, a new electronic Travel Expense Report (TER) system will be published as a part of the AURA Central Administrative Services (CAS) Reqless application. The new system will allow a traveler to select a specific travel request (TR) and generate a TER containing most of the required information. Actual expenses will be the only information the traveler will need to enter manually. Receipts can be scanned as a single document and attached electronically to the TER. CAS will continue accepting paper TERs through August 31, but as of September 1, all TERs must be submitted through the electronic system. See LSST's Travel page for instructions on how to use Reqless for both TRs and TERs.
Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Support Agreement No. 1202910, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). The DOE-funded effort to build the the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an
independent federal agency created by Congress
in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
