The NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey is a very deep IR and optical (B_NRIJHK) imaging survey of 18ebox° of the sky with the primary goal of studying the evolution of large-scale structure from z 1-4. In addition, the survey will enable further investigation of the formation and evolution of the red-envelope galaxy population and the detection of luminous, very distant (z> 4), star-forming galaxies and quasars. We are mapping an unprecedentedly large area to very faint flux limits (BRI≥26 AB mag. and J,H=21; K=21.5 AB mag. 5-σ detection limits in a 2'' diameter aperture). This survey will be valuable in addressing many other problems, and we have designed its execution and the presentation of the data to the community in a manner that will maximize the scientific return. We will begin distribution of the calibrated data within six months of completion of the first year of observations. In this proposal we request an increase to the 1^st Sem. 1999 long-term status allocation (KP3038) in order enable the completion of the survey by the end of the millennium and the start of science operations of the Gemini Telescopes.
