Introduction

JWST Programs

The science program for JWST falls into three parts: observations undertaken by instrument team leads and members of the Science Working Group who are Guaranteed Time Observers; observations proposed by the community and selected through a dual-anonymous peer review process as the General Observer program; and observations selected by the STScI Director for various purposes. More details about each of those programs are given below.

New calls for General Observer proposals are anticipated once per year during JWST science operations.
