The next Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG) meeting will be held on February 3-4, 2020 at the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) in Houston, TX.

NASA will provide travel grants for a limited number of Early Career participants to attend this OPAG meeting. OPAG plays a key role in sculpting the planetary science community’s input into NASA activities for outer planets science and exploration. Thus it is critical for Early Career scientists to attend these meetings both to learn how NASA and Planetary Science programs operate and to represent the community that will work on OPAG-relevant projects in the coming decade. Selection preference will be given to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (green card holders), or those in residence at U.S. institutions. Selected individuals will present a poster at the meeting the evening of February 3 on a topic of their choosing.

Interested graduate students, postdocs, and other Early Career scientists (within 5 years of PhD/MS/BS) should submit a short letter of interest and a CV to Morgan.L.Cable@jpl.nasa.gov by December 30, 2019. Please include “OPAG Early Career Travel Grant” in the subject line.

Recipients will be notified by January 6, 2020.
