Notice of Interest in Astro2010 Prioritization Process
The Committee on Astro2010 (the NRC’s Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey Committee) has been tasked to “survey the field of space- and ground-based astronomy and astrophysics, recommending priorities for the most important scientific and technical activities of the decade 2010-2020.”
The principal goals of the study will be to carry out an assessment of activities in astronomy and astrophysics, including both new and previously identified concepts. Activities include both projects such as NASA missions and ground-based telescopes but also initiatives such as development of a major astrophysics laboratory (e.g. the NVO). If you are the leader of team that is planning on advocating for an activity in the decadal survey's prioritization process, please fill out the form below by no later than January 14th, 2009. (As necessitated by the committee's charge, the survey reserves the right to consider and prioritize activities that do not respond to this call.) This Notice is being used for planning purposes, and there will be subsequent requests for more detailed information.
If you have questions, please contact Brian Dewhurst on the NRC staff (202-334-3520 or astro2010@nas.edu)
