Astronomy Plans Unit

This unit includes Numbered Astronomy Program Plans (early versions called Numbered Long Range Plans) 9, 11-22, 24-27, dated 1/3/1979 through 12/30/1981, and Dated Astronomy Initiatives Plans (early versions called Dated Long Range Plans) for 12/20/1978, 5/24/1979, 5/1/1981, and 9/9/1981. According to William E. Howard III, who prepared the plans, the Initiatives Plans included things the astronomy community wanted to do, generally items from the Decadal Review and Centers initiatives, that had not yet been included in the NSF budget. The Program Plans showed the available budget for the division divided out among the two sections, Grants and Centers, that existed at that time.
