<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word; line-break:after-white-space">Dear Australia-based Astronomer and Instrumentation Scientist colleagues,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This email is targeting those of you who are past/present/future <b class="">users or collaborators of the 8m Subaru Telescope</b> in Hawaii and/or who are involved in <b class="">space and ground-based Near Infra-Red wide-field survey science
and instrumentation.</b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) Subaru Telescope is about to apply for a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Core-to-Core program. NAOJ/Subaru is looking for interested researchers in Australia who would like
to be listed as Australian collaborators on this proposal.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The focus of the proposed international collaboration between <b class="">NAOJ/Subaru, ESA (Euclid), NASA (Nancy Grace Roman Telescope), Australia and Taiwan (Subaru-ULTIMATE)</b> is space and ground-based Near Infra-Red wide-field survey science
and instrumentation. More details about the application and the benefits of the collaboration are presented in the attached 5-slide presentation.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The time and funding investments required to participate in this proposal are small:</div>
<div class="">- No proposal writing is required: Australian collaborators only need to indicate their interest</div>
<div class="">- Matching funding: Australian collaborators should be able to pledge <b class="">travel funding on order ~$3k USD/person/year over the period 2021-2026 to support travel to Japan and/or Hawaii</b>. This funding can come from any funding source
you may have access to.</div>
<div class="">Note: It seems understood that should the COVID situation prevent travel from happening, the corresponding funding would not be requested to be spent (to be confirmed by Subaru).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The JSPS submission deadline is 17 September 2020. I would like to draw a preliminary list of those of you who are interested to participate in this proposal <b class="">by noon AEST Monday 14 September.</b></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Please reply to <a href="mailto:celine.dorgeville@anu.edu.au" class="">celine.dorgeville@anu.edu.au</a> and indicate:</div>
<div class="">- your name and title</div>
<div class="">- your affiliation</div>
<div class="">- your interest in joining this collaboration (a couple of sentences)</div>
<div class="">- your existing or expected ability to commit travel funding on order $3k USD/person/year over the period 2021-2026 to travel to Japan and/or Hawaii.</div>
