Kepler Science Center — The Kepler Science Center (& Guest Observer Office) administers both annual and quarterly worldwide calls for competitive scientific proposals from the community. 3,000 long-cadence (30-min) targets are available to Guest Observers per 3-month season. Additionally, 25 short-cadence (1-min) targets are available each month. Both long- and short-cadence targets can be observed for a full year each observing cycle. US proposers will be funded annually. The Kepler Science Center also supports the Kepler Asteroseismology Science Consortium and public archive users. US archive investigators can also request funding through the annual ADP program.
