On April 7, 2017, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is releasing a Draft
solicitation for community review and comment entitled the Draft 2017
Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe Announcement of Opportunity
(IMAP AO). Upon the release date, the full text the draft solicitation
will be available at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__nspires.nasaprs.com_&d=DwMGaQ&c=c6MrceVCY5m5A_KAUkrdoA&r=KLJx8QYk_I21vrfTgAQC2pOs6GRLm1-feVl6VLSxalM&m=NzRFVNs66g7HQTVJc7TOCwCDPAOGYA6lyObSZgEVgmY&s=0eLQ3DEHQYn8jqUkXJsXZUrug-w7BrP5NRwRCOyubik&e=>.
The Solar Terrestrial Probes Program conducts a Principal Investigator
(PI)-led mission that addresses a critical science target that
systematically advances understanding of the heliophysics system. IMAP
investigations must address a preponderance of the IMAP science
objectives that are stated in the Draft 2017 IMAP AO.
Participation is open to all categories of organizations or
institutions, U.S. or non-U.S., including educational, industrial, and
not-for-profit institutions, Federally Funded Research and Development
Centers (FFRDCs), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), NASA

agencies.
The comment period for the Draft 2017 IMAP AO ends on May 4, 2017.
The issuance of the Draft 2017 Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration
Probe AO does not obligate NASA to issue the 2017 Interstellar Mapping
and Acceleration Probe AO and solicit proposals. Any costs incurred by
prospective investigators in preparing submissions in response to the
draft solicitation are incurred completely at the submitter's own risk.
Comments on the draft may be addressed in writing or by e-mail to the
IMAP Program Scientist: Dr. Arik Posner, Heliophysics Division, Mail
Suite 3M81, Science Mission Directorate, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, Washington, DC 20546-0001, e-mail: Arik.Posner at nasa.gov <mailto:Arik.Posner at nasa.gov>

4. ROSES 2017 Review Panels - Call for Volunteers
The 2017 ROSES competition of Heliophysics programs encourages
volunteers for review panels to sign up on the NASA web site for
researchers. Sign-up is now open for several of the Heliophysics
solicitations (see list below). Please make sure you sign up before
April 30, 2017.
Signing up does not commit you to serve, nor will NASA be obligated to
invite you to serve on a review panel. Instead, the availability of
panel volunteers will aid the program officers to more efficiently fill
panel vacancies, and it will enhance the quality of the peer review
process with the identification of additional expertise. An additional
goal is to shorten the time between proposal submission and
selection/notification. The community benefits through broadening the
peer review panel as well as broadening their own personal experience.
If you are an active researcher in the field of Heliophysics, Postdoc
level and beyond, you are encouraged to sign up. We understand that your
schedules fill up quickly, and therefore we ask you to identify which
weeks of the review windows you would be available to serve. Typical
review duration is 3-4 days.
The following programs currently solicit review panel volunteers for
in-person (or virtual) reviews starting in late July 2017 through April
2018:
H-SR (ROSES17 Appendix B.2 Heliophysics Supporting Research)
H-TIDeS (ROSES17 Appendix B.3 Heliophysics Technology and Instrument
Development for Science)
H-GI Open (ROSES17 Appendix B.4 Heliophysics Guest Investigators – Open
Element)
H-LWS (ROSES17 Appendix B.6 Heliophysics Living With a Star Science)
H-DEE (ROSES17 Appendix B.7 Heliophysics Data Environment Enhancements)
H-MMS-GI (ROSES17 Appendix B.8 Magnetospheric Multiscale Guest
Investigators 2)
H-GCR SC (ROSES17 Appendix B.9 Heliophysics Grand Challenges Research –
Science Centers)
You will not be eligible to participate in panel reviews of those
programs that you submit to as a PI, Co-I or Collaborator/Consultant.
Therefore, you will be asked to self-select the program(s) for which you
expect to be available.
The sign-up process is simple, fast and confidential. You can sign up
under the following URL:

11. MEETING: Space Weather of the Heliosphere: Processes and Forecast
IAU
Symposium 335 - July 17-21, 2017 - University of Exeter, UK
Space weather is increasingly recognised as an international challenge
faced by several communities. The ability to understand, monitor and
forecast the space weather of the Earth and the heliosphere is of
paramount importance for our high-technology society and for the current
rapid developments in knowledge and exploration within our Solar
System.
The symposium is planned over 5 days from Monday through Friday
(including half-day excursion on the Wednesday afternoon). Key Topics of
the scientific program are the following: Solar drivers and activity
levels; Solar wind and heliosphere; Impact of solar wind, structures and
radiation on and within terrestrial and planetary environments
(including magnetospheres, ionospheres and atmospheres); Long-term
trends and predictions for space weather; Challenges and strategy plans
for Earth and the heliosphere; Forecasting models; Space weather
monitoring, instrumentation, data and services. The Symposium aims to
further knowledge on space weather by linking various aspects of
research in solar, heliospheric and planetary physics, and by putting
great emphasis on cross-disciplinary developments, merging different
communities, learning from interplanetary comparisons and linking to
atmospheric and meteorological research for the first time at the
international level.

(1) Physics of the Sun-Heliosphere-Magnetosphere;
(2) Interstellar medium and star formation;
(3) Cosmology and galaxy formation;
(4) Dynamo effect;
(5) Stellar Physics.
The purpose of the conference is to bring together leading experts in
applied mathematics, space physics, astrophysics, and geophysics to
discuss the application of novel numerical algorithms and petascale
parallelization strategies to computationally challenging problems.
The conference will be structured around invited, 40-minute keynote and
25-minute regular talks, and a limited number of contributed talks, with
the attempt to have no parallel sessions. The conference web site will
be established in a few days and provide the information about the
conference venue, registration, and means of transportation. E-mail
inquiries about the meeting should be directed to Nikolai.Pogorelov at
