Executive Summary






GO Acceptance Rate: ~1/5 for proposals and orbits
SNAP Acceptance rate: ~1/4 for proposals and orbits
AR Acceptance rate: ~1/3 for proposals and dollars
Acceptance rate is approximately independent of size.
34% of program awarded to Large/Treasury Programs.
Instrument breakdown for GO Programs: ACS (42%),
STIS (30%), NICMOS (19%), WFPC2 (9%), FGS (<1%)
 ESA acceptance fraction 18.8% for proposals and 15.7%
for orbits

Notable Features
 Improvements to APT well liked by community
 Reviewers appreciated page limit changes
 CD went over extremely well: 1 out of 101
demanded paper!
Saved effort, time and $$ for STScI
 Notifications sent on schedule
Comments to follow: approved this week, rejected in
about 2 more weeks
 Cycle 14 planning already underway!
