Science Application Research-to-Operations-to-Research (SWR2O2R) were deferred to
until April 28 and June 28, respectively. This delay is to accommodate a virtual town hall
discussion on April 12, 2023, hosted jointly by NASA HQ Heliophysics Division and NOAA
Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).
This virtual town hall will enable discussion of how the program works and the various
steps needed to move a proposed work from the research domain into operational
readiness. SWPC will also provide more information on operational needs in various
focus areas that would be considered in the proposal selection process. </font><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">The town hall will be conducted virtually from 2-4 pm eastern time on April 12th via: <a href="https://meet.google.com/kwe-itqv-fyv">https://meet.google.com/kwe-itqv-fyv</a></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Phone access is: (US) +1 832-856-2084 PIN: 550 278 172# </font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">More information will be released later this week at <a href="https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/">https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/</a> the
