AGU wants to make sure there is time and flexibility for participants to put together quality nomination packages while at the same time balancing the needs of the program and taking into consideration the time needed for volunteers to review nominations. Therefore, there will not be an opportunity to extend past the 15 April date. We will be updating communications, where we ...

Dear Colleagues, Over the last few years, it has become increasingly challenging to run the OSPA program and meet its fundamental goals that are to nurture interactions between experienced researchers and students, to provide feedback and encouragement on ongoing research, and to highlight the importance of communication in science.
