The JWST Cycle 4 Call for Proposals (CfP), to be issued August 1, contains several changes that will directly impact how JWST proposers write and submit their General Observer (GO) and Archival (AR) proposals. The changes aim to improve the proposal review process by addressing key challenges noted by the JWST Users Committee (JSTUC). This supplementary guide explains at a high level the motivation for and implementation of the changes.
