Subject to availability of funds from NASA, STScI will provide financial support to eligible investigators of approved Cycle 20 programs. Such funding is awarded under the general conditions contained in the document
General Grant Provisions of the Space Telescope Science Institute, referred to hereafter as the ‘GGP’. The most recent version of this document is available at the STScI
Grants Administration Office Web Page.
Budgets are not due in Phase I, but are required in Phase II from successful (GO, SNAP, AR, Theory and E/PO) U.S. proposers only. Separate budgets must be submitted by all investigators who request funding and approved by the Program PI. Investigators who are not eligible for, or who do not wish to request funding will not submit a budget. Detailed instructions for budget preparation and submission using the
Grants Management System will be sent to successful proposers after the Phase I review has been completed.
Joint HST-Chandra Programs will be funded separately by both STScI and the
CXC, following their respective policies. Details of the CXC funding policies are given in the Chandra Cycle 14 Call for Proposals and at
http://cxc.harvard.edu/proposer/.
For successful joint HST/XMM-Newton Programs, funding to support the analysis of the HST observations will be provided by STScI following its policies; funding to support the analysis of the XMM-Newton observations can be requested by eligible U.S. PIs by submitting a separate proposal to the NASA ADAP Program (accessible via
this link).
Below is a brief overview of the STScI funding policies and procedures. The information presented here is of an introductory nature only, and is not intended to be complete. The governing policies are always those contained in the General Grant Provisions.
