Programmatic Review – next steps

Preparations for the next programmatic review have been underway for a few months with discussions both internally and with Science Board. The next steps are to start the data collection and for the Advisory Panels to start updating their roadmaps.

Data Collection

In the next couple of weeks we will be starting our data collection.

Proformas will be sent to PIs on all the particle physics, astronomy and nuclear physics projects to be reviewed. A list of all these projects will be available on the communities site
(https://www.stfc.ac.uk/communities/stfcCommunity.aspx?cmId=123) once this has happened.

Large facilities will be invited to input in August, when the Research Councils Science Requirements document is available. STFC departments and institutes will also be invited to provide input to review in the form of a proforma.

Advisory Panels

If you wish to have input into the Programmatic Review you can do this via the relevant Advisory Panel. Advisory Panels have been asked to update their roadmaps and provide information on the technology needs of the community. The Advisory Panels relevant to the facilities have been asked to provide a long term vision on facility requirements. Details about the Advisory Panel membership will be available shortly.
