- Project Identification
- An identification number allocated to the project. The letters C, M, P and V are used to denote proposals for the Compact Array, Mopra, Parkes or the Long Baseline Array/VLBI.
- Observing Term
- The year and term of the proposal. Since 1991 observations have been scheduled in four-monthly periods which commence in December, April and August of each year.
- Title
- Project Title
- Investigators
- List of investigators and their institutions as listed on proposal. The principal investigator is normally listed first.
- Dates Allocated
- Dates allocated for the observing term
- Time Allocated
- Time allocated for the observing term
- Time accumulated
- Total time allocated to date
- Scientific Category
- Information on the scientific category. Entries include : Extragalactic, Galactic, Magellanic Clouds, Solar, Solar System, Stellar.
- Type of Observations
- Information on the type of observations - Entries include : Imaging, Snapshot, Bandwidth synthesis, Mosaicing, Point Source, Monitoring, High Time resolution, Pulsar, Phased array, LBA/VLBI, Continuum, Spectral Line, Linear Polarization, Circular Polarization, Solar, `Filler' time.
- Proposal Type
- Options are : ToO = Target of Opportunity, NAPA = Non-apriori-assignable, Standard = all others.
- Antennas
- Information on antennas used. Entries include : CA = Compact Array, P = Parkes, M = Mopra, T = Tidbinbilla, H = Hobart, MOST = Molonglo Synthesis Telescope

- Contact
- Contact author and email address
- Email
- Contact author's email address
- Continuing Proposal?
- Specifies whether a proposal has been given a 'continuing status'. This may be given, at the discretion of the Time Assignment Committee, to projects which continue over several terms. For projects with a continuing status, the proposers need only submit the proposal cover sheets to the Time Assignment Committee.
- Continuing until
- Gives the expiry date for proposals with a continuing status. After this date a full proposal case must be submitted before further time will be given.
