About this opportunity
Synopsis The Astronomical Sciences Innovations program (Astro-Innovations) supports a small number of larger astronomical activities. This program is formally divided into four subcategories: 1) limited-term, self-contained science projects; 2) longer-term mid-scale facilities; 3) development investments for future mid-scale and large-scale projects; and 4) community open access capabilities. Astro-Innovations will emphasize both strong scientific merit and a well-developed plan for student training and involvement of a comprehensive workforce in instrumentation, facility development, or data management. Suitable proposal topics include all areas of research supported by MPS Astronomical Sciences. Proposals focused on studying the Sun’s effects on Earth’s atmosphere and near-Earth space en...
