In the U.S. community preparations are underway for the “Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics (Heliophysics) 2024-2033” under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences. This will lead to a series of recommendations that will determine research directions for the major agencies (e.g., NSF, NASA, NOAA). Numerous online discussions have been convened with the intention of drafting white papers as input to the agency-led deliberations. A deadline for submission of white papers is expected soon. Nominations to the Survey Steering Committee and Study Panels have closed. Meetings will begin in the July-August timeframe with a draft report expected by the end of the year.
