We describe an ongoing search for pulsars and dispersed pulses of radioemission, such as those from rotating radio transients (RRATs) and fast radiobursts (FRBs), at 350 MHz using the Green Bank Telescope. With the Green BankUltimate Pulsar Processing Instrument, we record 100 MHz of bandwidth dividedinto 4,096 channels every 81.92 $\mu s$. This survey will cover the entire skyvisible to the Green Bank Telescope ($\delta > -40^\circ$, or 82% of the sky)and outside of the Galactic Plane will be sensitive enough to detect slowpulsars and low dispersion measure ($<$30 $\mathrm{pc\,cm^{-3}}$) millisecondpulsars (MSPs) with a 0.08 duty cycle down to 1.1 mJy. For pulsars with aspectral index of $-$1.6, we will be 2.5 times more sensitive than previous andongoing surveys over much of our survey region. Here we describe the survey,the data analysis pipeline, initial discovery parameters for 62 pulsars, andtiming solutions for 5 new pulsars. PSR J0214$+$5222 is an MSP in a long-period(512 days) orbit and has an optical counterpart identified in archival data.PSR J0636$+$5129 is an MSP in a very short-period (96 minutes) orbit with avery low mass companion (8 $M_\mathrm{J}$). PSR J0645$+$5158 is an isolated MSPwith a timing residual RMS of 500 ns and has been added to pulsar timing arrayexperiments. PSR J1434$+$7257 is an isolated, intermediate-period pulsar thathas been partially recycled. PSR J1816$+$4510 is an eclipsing MSP in ashort-period orbit (8.7 hours) and may have recently completed its spin-upphase.
