Under the terms of the UK Memorandum of Agreement with LSST Corporation, STFC is providing funding for up to 100 Affiliate PIs and 400 Junior Associates to participate in LSST. Lists of APs and JAs are provided to LSSTC on an annual basis, following approval by the LSST:UK Consortium Board. The Board owns the lists, but has delegated the role of proposing names for them to a separate LSST:UK PI Selection Committee, which implements the LSST:UK policy for selection of Affiliate PIs and Junior Associates, the current version of which will always be available from this page, as will current and previous versions of the AP and JA lists themselves.
