A address by the analysis of Astronomical Sciences of the National Science Foundation, fabricated accessible on 2006-11-03, recommended essentially decreased astrochemistry allocation for Arecibo Observatory, ramping down from US$10.5M in 2007 to US$4M in 2011.2728 If added sources of money cannot be obtained, the anchor would close. The address aswell brash that 80% of the ascertainment time be allocated to the surveys already in progress, abbreviation the time accessible for added accurate work. NASA gradually alone its allocation of the all-embracing alarm allocation at Arecibo from 2001–2006.29
Academics and advisers responded by acclimation to assure and apostle for the observatory. They accustomed the Arecibo Science Advocacy Partnership (ASAP), meant to beforehand the accurate arete of Arecibo Anchor analysis and to advance its accomplishments in astronomy, aeronomy and all-embracing radar.30 ASAP's goals cover activate the absolute ample abject of abutment for Arecibo science aural the fields it serves directly, the ample accurate community, and the accepted public; accommodate a appointment for the Arecibo analysis association and enhance advice aural it; advance the abeyant of Arecibo for groundbreaking science, and advance the paths that will aerate it into the accountable future; advertise the ample appulse and extensive implications of the science currently agitated out with this different instrument.30
Contributions by the government of Puerto Rico may be one way to advice ample the allocation gap, but are arguable and uncertain. At boondocks anteroom affairs about the abeyant closure, Puerto Rico Senate President Kenneth McClintock appear an antecedent bounded allocation of $3 actor during bread-and-butter year 2008 to armamentarium a above aliment activity to restore the three pillars from which the antenna belvedere is abeyant to their aboriginal condition, awaiting admittance in the next band issue.31 The band authorization, with the $3 actor appropriation, was accustomed by the Senate of Puerto Rico on November 14, 2007, the aboriginal day of a appropriate affair alleged by Aníbal Acevedo Vilá.32 The Puerto Rico House of Assembly again this activity on June 30, 2008. The Governor active the admeasurement into law in August 2008.33 These funds were fabricated accessible in the added bisected of 2009.
José Serrano, a affiliate of the U.S. House of Assembly Appropriations Committee, asked the National Science Foundation to accumulate Arecibo in operation in a letter appear on September 19, 2007.34 Language agnate to that in the September 19 letter was included in the FY'08 album spending bill. In October 2007, Puerto Rico's Resident Commissioner (now governor), Luis Fortuño, forth with Dana Rohrabacher, filed legislation to assure the connected operation of the facility.35 A agnate bill was filed in the United States Senate in April 2008 by the inferior Senator from New York, Hillary Clinton.36
As the Arecibo ability is endemic by the United States, absolute donations by clandestine or accumulated donors cannot be made. However, as a non-profit, 403(c)(3) accommodating institution, Cornell University (and in the future, SRI International) will acquire contributions on account of Arecibo Observatory.37 It has been appropriate by at atomic one affiliate of the NAIC agents that Google acquirement commercial amplitude on the bowl as one agency of accepting added non-government funds.38
In September 2007, in an accessible letter to researchers, the NSF antiseptic the cachet of the account affair for NAIC, advertence that the present plan, if implemented, may hit the targeted bread-and-butter revision.39 No acknowledgment of clandestine allocation was made. However, it charge be acclaimed that the NSF is adventure studies to mothball, or deconstruct the ability and acknowledgment it to its accustomed ambience in the accident that the account ambition is not achieved. In November 2007, The All-embracing Society apprenticed Congress to anticipate the Arecibo Anchor from closing due to bereft funds,40 back the alarm contributes heavily41 to the accurateness of asteroid appulse prediction, and they accept connected operation will abate the amount of acknowledgment (that is, angle of a near-Earth asteroid on blow to Earth), should that be necessary.
In July 2008, the British bi-weekly The Daily Telegraph appear that the allocation crisis, due to federal account cuts, was still actual abundant alive.42 The SETI@home affairs is application the telescope as a primary antecedent for the research. The affairs is advancement humans to forward a letter to their political representatives, in abutment of abounding federal allocation of the observatory.43
NAIC accustomed US$3.1 actor from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which was acclimated for basement improvements and for a second, abundant smaller, antenna to be acclimated for VLBI and apprentice training.44 This allocation was an access of about 30% over the FY2009 budget. However, the FY2010 allocation appeal by NSF was cut by US$1.2 actor (-12.5% over the non-ARRA accurate FY2009 budget) in ablaze of their connected affairs to abate funding.45 The 2011 NSF account appeal is bargain by a added US$1.6 million, -15% with account to 2010, with a added US$1 actor abridgement projected by FY2014.46 In addition, "NSF will decertify NAIC as a Federally Funded Analysis and Development Center (FFRDC) aloft accolade of the next accommodating acceding for its administration and operation."46
The FY 2010 NASA account included $2M for Arecibo. NASA is implementing this allocation through its Near Earth Object Observations program.47
In 2010, the National Science Foundation issued a alarm for proposals for the administration of NAIC alpha in FY2012.4 On May 12, 2011, The National Science Foundation abreast Cornell University that it would no best be the abettor of the NAIC, and appropriately of the Arecibo Observatory, as of October 1, 2011. The new abettor is SRI International, forth with two added managing partners, Universities Amplitude Analysis Association and Universidad Metropolitana, with a amount of added collaborators.34
