Planetary Decadal Survey Call for Nominations


Planetary Science Decadal Survey Call for Nominations

Prospective members of all National Academies’ committees and panels (including decadal surveys) have their financial relationships reviewed to prevent actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Additionally, the National Academies evaluates whether each prospective member is a strong, publicly known advocate for a specific project—broadly defined as a plan, mission, initiative, architecture, or the equivalent—that the committee or panel may evaluate. Such evaluation is necessary to avoid possible bias or a perception thereof.
Nominations and self-nominations to the decadal survey committee—i.e., the steering group and supporting panels—are welcome.

Nominees with the following characteristics are encouraged:

  • Scientific and technical expertise, and objectivity;
  • Experience in the management of a project, organization, or equivalent enterprise is desirable;
  • Must be broad thinkers, open-minded, and not active proponents of a specific project; and
  • Be able to participate in-person in survey committee activities.


Additional considerations include the following:

  • All authors of science-focused whitepapers prepared for the survey are eligible to be considered as members of the steering group and its supporting panels;
  • First authors of mission-focused whitepapers prepared for the survey cannot serve on the steering group or on any panel considering that mission; and
  • Principal investigators of the NASA-funded, pre-decadal mission-concept studies to be evaluated by the survey cannot serve on the steering committee or on any panel considering that mission.
