3 What does the PAAP do? Look to long-term strategic structure and priorities in particle astrophysics. Is supposed to be one of the main links between the committee structure and the community. Feeds input into future allocations through: –Road Map –Strategic advice –Ad hoc input into individual decisions. This advice is (surprisingly?) influential! Influence it! …Road Map Particle Astro..

33 What do you need to do? We are meeting in May to update the Road Map for 2004. You should read the existing one and give feedback to the panel. You need to help try to keep the panel fully informed of developments in the field, and of any new scientific opportunities. If you are planning a significant new proposal please send an SoI to Science Committee as soon as possible. If I were you, I would copy it to the relevant Advisory Panel(s). I would also copy the AP’s with any relevant seedcorn proposals to the PPRP. In the autumn the committee will consider strategy. Inputs are very welcome and needed! …Road Map Particle Astro..

34 I hear many complaints about “PPARC” Usually phrased as if PPARC decisions were taken by some strange, hostile entity whose primary mission is the destruction of UK particle physics and astronomy. Reality is different. Not all decisions work out, but everybody is genuinely trying to push particle physics in the UK. Your peers make most of the policy decisions. …Road Map Particle Astro..
