NASA and The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) are pleased to announce the Cycle 16 Call for Proposals for Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Observations and funding for Archival Research and Theoretical Research programs. Participation in this program is open to all categories of organizations, both domestic and foreign, including educational institutions, profit and nonprofit organizations, NASA Centers, and other Government agencies.
This solicitation for proposals will be open through January 26, 2007 8:00pm EST. The Astronomer's Proposal Tools (APT), which is required for Phase I Proposal Submission will be made available/released for Cycle 16 Phase I use around December 1, 2006. Results of the selection will be announced in early April 2007.
In Cycle 16, we will be offering the opportunity to take advantage of two new proposal types: Collaborative HST-Spitzer proposals, which will allow proposers to apply for substantial time allocations on both HST and Spitzer; and Survey proposals, which are designed for statistical programs and will be subsidised at a higher level than standard GO proposals.
