Herschel Key Program Announcement of Opportunity
Funding Opportunities for US-Based Investigators


Herschel Key Program Announcement of Opportunity

The NASA Herschel Science Center is pleased to inform you that the first Announcement of Opportunity for Herschel as been released by the European Space Agency. This is the call for proposals for "Key Programs" - large observing projects to be carried out early in the Herschel mission.

The Key Program AO and related information can be found by following the proposal information links on the NHSC web pages (URL above). Note that the NHSC will be refining and expanding these pages to aid US-based proposers in obtaining all necessary information easily.


Funding Opportunities for US-Based Investigators

A related announcement of opportunity for NASA funding of successful Herschel Open Time Key Programs will be available on the NHSC web pages about mid-February. Please check those pages for information when it becomes available.

In addition to Key Program funding for US-based investigators, we are planning to call for proposals for Theoretical Research and Laboratory Astrophysics funding for research associated with Herschel science. Information about that opportunity will be issued at the same time as the Key Program funding information and will be found in the same place on the NHSC web pages.

The NHSC is looking forward to serving the US community in their planning and use of Herschel.
