The NHSC will provide financial support for investigators selected to conduct Theoretical (TR) Research programs or Laboratory Astrophysics (LA) programs that directly enhance the scientific return of the Herschel Mission, subject to the availability of NASA funds. The proposed programs should provide a lasting benefit for current or future observational programs with Herschel. The proposals should address a topic that is of direct relevance to Herschel observational programs, and this relevance should be explained in the proposal. The results of the TR or LA investigation should be made available to the community in a timely fashion, by effective means that should be described in the proposal. For example, models or algorithms and laboratory measurements produced should be made available to the community in addition to publishing the scientific results in the peer-reviewed literature.

A TR or LA proposal is submitted only if investigators are seeking funding support.
