JWST Cycle 3 Proposal Preparation Session
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM  
No cost / Hybrid

After an amazing first year of science from the James Webb Space Telescope, we are now underway with Cycle 2 and preparing for the third year of science. The JWST Cycle 3 call for proposals was released on August 15, 2023 (https://www.stsci.edu/jwst/science-planning/calls-for-proposals-and-pol…) with a proposal deadline of October 27, 2023. We plan a workshop at the joint DPS-EPSC meeting, giving participants the opportunity to finalize proposals and receive one-on-one technical assistance with JWST experts. This hybrid session will start with a series of short presentations that include a brief overview of the call for proposals, followed by introductions to the proposal tools (APT and ETC).  The remaining time will be open for participants to bring specific questions for their proposals, get assistance with tools, and seek advice from JWST experts on proposal optimization and strategy.  Common non-confidential questions will be collected and documented for future reference.  We encourage all current and future JWST proposers to attend, especially new users.  Looking forward to another great year of solar system science with JWST!

Registering will give the organizers an estimated count of attendees, however, you are welcome to join without registering.

NASA Proposal Writing Workshop
10:00 AM to 4:00 PM 
No cost  / In person 

The success of scientists depends upon their ability to obtain funding. One of the largest challenges is to create strong proposals. Using Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) from NASA as a template, this workshop will focus on teaching the audience key points to communicating science through successful proposal writing. As a result of this session, participants will be able to understand the proposal writing, reviewing, and selection process for federally funded research. This will also help those who have previously submitted proposals improve their performance. How to understand ones values and maintain those throughout this process will also be focused on. Story tellers will add unique and important lessons learned to the session.  

Registering will give the organizers an estimated count of attendees, however, you are welcome to join without registering.

Workshop on Juno and Juno-Supporting Results
9:00 AM to 6:00 PM
No cost / Hybrid

The Juno mission has promoted and coordinated a network of Earth-based observations that include both space- and ground-based facilities to extend and enhance observations made by its instrument complement. The intent of this one-day workshop is to gather members of the Juno mission and the wider Juno-supporting community to describe and inter-compare results. These can include the atmosphere, magnetosphere and satellites. The workshop is open to members of the professional and amateur communities.

Registering will give the organizers an estimated count of attendees, however, you are welcome to join without registering.

Writing Scientific Papers - How to Get Published   
12:00 PM to 1:00 PM
No cost 

Ever wonder what editors look for when considering which papers are ready to be published. In this session editors from the journal, Icarus, will provide information and answer questions on how to successfully publish your research, and how to handle the review process from both the reviewer and author perspective. Box lunch provided.

Saturday, 7 October & Sunday, 8 October

Juno Open Team Meeting Workshop Galilean Satellites and Radiation Environment

No cost / The workshop will be held in person at SwRI or at a hotel location in downtown San Antonio (to be announced later).

The purpose of the workshop is to encourage and help non-Juno scientists to work with Juno data, and to facilitate collaborations with those not on Juno. The agenda includes invited talks with the purpose of providing background and reviews of outstanding topics relevant to Juno, Clipper and JUICE. The plan is for the workshop to be interactive with the majority of time dedicated to discussions and spontaneous presentations. In addition to the invited topic talks, attendees may submit abstracts to be considered for posters. Time will be allocated to poster discussions as well. This workshop is intended to be conference-like with attendees listening to a series of short talks. Scientists interested in working with Juno data and/or collaborating with the Juno team are encouraged to attend.
