While attendees are encouraged to combine their visit with the AbSciCon 2019 meeting, ExoPAG talks should be tailored to address NASA’s exoplanet program, including Kepler/K2, TESS, JWST, WFIRST, as well as other missions; NASA’s exoplanet ground support efforts such as Keck, LBTI, IRTF, and NN-Explore; mission concept studies such as OST, LUVOIR, HabEx and Lynx; and general data archiving, follow-up organization, and tool development related to exoplanet research and missions at the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI) and Nexus for Exoplanet Systems Science (NExSS).
More information can be found on the
ExoPAG website.
The ExoPAG recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in producing the most innovative and impactful science. We especially encourage graduate students and postdocs from underrepresented backgrounds in science to apply for this travel support to present their research at the ExoPAG 20 meeting.
Postdocs and graduate students should read the guidelines prior to applying and submitting their abstract. For questions regarding postdoc and grad student travel support, please contact
student-travel@jpl.nasa.gov.
To be eligible, postdocs and graduate students affiliated with a US institution
must submit an application and an abstract by 5 p.m. PDT May 10, 2019 to be considered for this travel support. The NASA ExoPAG Executive Committee will make the selections by May 20th. We expect to select up to three students to give presentations and be awarded travel support. Students will be notified by May 23, 2019.
