Change Request Form

This web page is for astronomers who use the Hubble Space Telescope and wish to formally communicate to STScI technical details related to their programs. If you are not sure if you should use this page, please e-mail your Contact Scientist, Program Coordinator, or help@stsci.edu.

With this page you can do any of the following:

Request a change to an approved HST program.
Report a problem with an HST observation.
Request a resolution of an apparent conflict of proprietary data rights.

All requests for program changes should be discussed with your Contact Scientist and/or Program Coordinator before filing a formal action here. In many cases, your PC or CS can resolve the issue informally. More information on the policies and procedures for submitting change requests and problem reports can be found in Policies for the Telescope Time Review Board (TTRB).

The PCR form below should only be used if major changes need to be approved.

This page should not to be used for these types of changes:

Administrative changes, such adding or deleting a co-Investigator, changing the Principal Investigator, or changing the proprietary period for data. For these types of changes contact Dr. Neill Reid, Head of the Science Mission Office.
Changes in funding or related matters. Contact the STScI Grants Administration Office instead.
