Fermi Cycle 17 Proposer Workshop

The deadline for Fermi Cycle-17 Guest Investigator proposals is fast approaching: Feb 15, 2024, 16:30 EST. To help you in preparing your proposals, the Fermi Science Support Center will host a virtual workshop on Jan. 24 2024, at 14:00 EST. We will provide information on proposal submission and evaluation processes, as well as the latest mission news. Resources available to proposers and researchers through the FSSC will be described and there will be opportunity for questions. In addition, we will allot time for optional, user-contributions comprised of short (~5min) presentations on your recent or ongoing Fermi-related scientific activities. If you'd like to attend please register using this form by Jan. 23 so that we can send you the details to join the virtual meeting.
