[Fowler, Galen J. (HQ-DJ000)]

CEDAR Mailing list,

On behalf of Dr. Kozyra who is serving as the Designated Federal Official (DFO) for the Heliophysics Advisory Committee (HPAC), NASA HQ Heliophysics SMD would like to announce the call for HPAC membership nominations.  Attached is the relevant call, same as below.

Heliophysics Advisory Committee - Member nominations due June 30, 2024
The NASA Heliophysics Division seeks community members to serve on the Heliophysics Advisory Committee (HPAC), the Federal Advisory Committee that advises NASA on Heliophysics science.
The HPAC draws on the expertise of its members to provide advice and make recommendations to the Heliophysics Division Director, Science Mission Directorate, NASA Headquarters on Heliophysics programs, policies, plans, and priorities. The HPAC's recommendations and analysis can be used to inform decisions on the programmatic scope and priorities, as well as the implementation of Heliophysics programs. In addition, the HPAC will provide a regular forum for broad discussions of Heliophysics and the role of Heliophysics within and outside of NASA.

NASA Heliophysics Division openly solicits nominations of individuals who are affiliated with U.S. institutions for membership on the HPAC. U.S. citizens may submit self-nominations for consideration to fill vacancies on the committee. There will be member vacancies from time to time throughout the year, and NASA will consider self-nominations to fill such intermittent vacancies. Nominees will be contacted only if a vacancy should arise, and the expertise of the nominees is appropriate for that specific vacancy. All member appointments are non-compensated. However, NASA does cover travel and per diem expenses for all member appointments.

Members shall be selected by the Director, Heliophysics Division, following written consultation with the Associate Administrator, Science Mission Directorate. Appointment letter(s) and reappointment letter(s) will be signed by the Associate Administrator, Science Mission Directorate. The HPAC shall consist of 13-15 members for up to a three-year term, renewable at the discretion of the Director, Heliophysics Division. The Director, Heliophysics Division, shall ensure a balanced representation in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed. Diversity shall be considered as well. NASA is committed to selecting members to serve on these committees based on their individual expertise, knowledge, experience, current/past contributions to the relevant subject area, and overall diversity of the committee.

Interested community members are asked to complete and submit the form using the link below by Friday June 30, 2024.
