JWST Call for Proposals for Cycle 5; Deadline 15 October 2025

22 September 2025

The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is soliciting proposals for the JWST General Observer (GO), Survey, and Archival Research (AR) programs.

The proposal web page establishes the goals, requirements, and policies for JWST GO, Survey, and AR programs in Cycle 5. The Table of Contents is the left side of the page, and links there can take you to any page from any other page (click the arrow to expand the entire table of contents under "JWST Call for Proposals for Cycle 5"). The links at the top of each page under "On this page" correspond to sections within that given page.

As a courtesy, components of the proposal documentation have been provided in PDF format, and will be updated when feasible. However, the online documentation is the authority and will be updated with the latest information.
