NASA [Smda] Request for Feedback on the Hubble Fellowship Review Recommendation AAS Splinter Session June 15th

In the summer of 2021, the NASA Astrophysics Division conducted the first programmatic review of its NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP), intended to assist NASA in increasing the effectiveness of the program and bolstering its excellence.  The review panel’s findings were summarized by the co-chairs in thirty-two recommendations. The report can be found at https://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/documents, near the bottom of the page.

 

NASA is seeking immediate community input on these recommendations in two ways, a hybrid AAS Splinter Session, and a Community Survey.

 

1.    AAS Splinter Session June 15th at 10am Pacific Time 

 

At the 240th AAS meeting on Wednesday June 15th at 10 am Pacific Time there will be a splinter session consisting of a short overview by NHFP Program Scientist Patricia Knezek of where NASA is in developing an implementation plan responding to the report. There will then be a panel-moderated discussion focused on obtaining feedback from the community about the relative priority of the recommendations and thoughts about effective ways to address the recommendations. The community – especially early-career scientists – is encouraged to attend either in-person at the AAS, or remotely via WebEx:
