Table 4 Submission Types
Submission Type	Initials	Description
Principal Investigator (PI) project	PI	A PI project is an observing projects that require less time than a KSP, typically over a single Time Allocation cycle.
Key Science Project	KSP	Proposals for Key Science Projects (KSP) will be for relatively large resources allocations (time and compute) for observing programmes that cannot be completed within a single time allocation cycle. Proposals for KSPs will be received and reviewed at a time and cadence that differs from the regular call for proposals.
Director General’s Discretionary Time	DDT	DDT proposals (that could not reasonably have been submitted in the normal cycle) can be submitted at any time needing only the approval of the Director-General.

Table 5 Submission Attributes
Submission Attributes	Initials	Description
Target of Opportunity	ToO	These are submissions that require rapid response to alerts that have been triggered by events either externally or internally to the SKA.
Joint SKA Proposal	JSP	A submission that requires both SKA-LOW and SKA-MID telescopes to achieve the science goals. Such submissions may be linked so that observations can be executed contemporaneously.
Coordinated Proposal	CP	A submission requiring observing to be coordinated with another facility (either ground- or space-based) with user-specified scheduling constraints provided. The SKA Observatory will seek to establish relationships with key, complementary facilities (e.g., ALMA) to facilitate CPs. Submissions for VLBI will be considered as Coordinated Submissions.
Long Term Projects	LTS	These are for projects that require more than one time allocation cycle to complete (e.g., long-term monitoring campaigns) but are too short in overall observing time to qualify as a KSP.
