<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The upcoming Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics (Heliophysics) will generate recommendations to advance and expand solar and space physics frontiers in the current decade, guiding federal investments by
describing the highest priority science goals. Input and participation from the research community-particularly from graduate students, postdocs, and early tenure-track professionals–is critical for the success of this effort.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:black">Please join the National Academies for a two-part webinar series designed for early-career researchers to learn how you can get involved in the decadal survey process on <b>September 30 and October 18 at 2pm ET</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:black">An upcoming call for white papers will ask the research community to share their thoughts with the committee on science goals, research strategies, and the state of the profession, including concerns about diversity, equity, accessibility,
and inclusion. During the webinars, previous decadal contributors will share their insights on writing influential white papers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
