The LSST:UK proposal to PPRP in April 2022 will contain 7 FTE of staff effort over the Phase C period 2023 - 2027. As described in the UK’s Rubin LSST In-Kind Contributions proposal (Deliverables : Sect 12.4) This effort can be either directable or embedded (and endorsed) non-directable, and these definitions (as defined by Rubin Observatory) are defined in the Rubin Project document (“Manual for In-kind Contributors and Recipients”; Marshall et al. 2021). If there is an oversubscription in this call for proposals, then LSST:UK will decide jointly with Rubin and the Science Collaborations which are the highest priority projects to go forward to the PPRP proposal. The LSST:UK Board will define the selection panel, as they did for the Phase B process.

An evaluation panel will be defined, which will have authority from the Board to make a recommendation and prioritized list of work packages for consideration for inclusion in the Phase B C proposal. The panel should be nominated by the Board and have representation from the LUSC Exec, the LSST Project, and the UK community. The LSST Exec propose a 8 member panel made up of 2 Exec members, 2 LSST Project representatives, 2 from the UK community and the Project Scientist and Project Lead. The members will be chosen to minimise conflicts of interest. As for Phase B, the Project Scientist and Project Lead will sit on the panel to offer advice, guidance and opinion, but will not have a vote on the ranking of the proposals, while the representatives of the Exec and the UK community will be chosen so as not to include in any teams proposing DAC or DEV work packages
...
The panel will be chosen to have a diversity and balance in subject area, and care should be taken to ensure appropriate gender representation.
The panel will be given a fairly specific remit of reviewing the work package proposals with the following evaluation criteria
Impact, importance and excellence of the science which will be enabled by the data products provided by the work package
Relevance to the LSST:UK’s In-kind proposal to Rubin
The potential of the proposing team to be able to successfully deliver the data products, infrastructure proposed
