Subject: [IAU OAD] OAD Call for Proposals 2020 & Special Call for COVID-19
To: Projects OAD <projects en astro4dev.org>


Dear colleagues,

This year, the OAD is launching two calls for proposals. You may apply for
one or both the calls.

*1. Annual Call for Proposals:*
This is the regular, annual call for proposals you may be familiar with.
The call is open to anyone from anywhere in the world and invites proposals
for projects that use astronomy as a tool to address an issue or issues
related to sustainable development. It follows a 2-stage process, similar
to previous years. The deadline for Stage 1 applications is *May 31, 2020*.

Information on the call: http://www.astro4dev.org/aboutiauoad/cfp/
Application: http://www.astro4dev.org/2020-stage1-application/
Contact: projects en astro4dev.org

*2. Extraordinary Call for COVID-19 related Proposals:*
The OAD is also releasing an additional, extraordinary call for COVID-19
related proposals. We invite proposals for projects or partnerships that
use astronomy, in any of its aspects (including skills, methodologies,
tools, infrastructure, inspiration or even just networks of
astronomers/enthusiasts) to help mitigate some of the impacts of COVID-19.
This call will run in parallel with our regular call for proposals but on
an accelerated timeline. Deadline for proposals for the extraordinary call
is *May 15, 2020* and results will be announced around 2 weeks later.
Astronomy, by no means, can solve these enormous challenges by itself but
it can have a small role to play in the global, grand scheme of things. As
these are complex issues with long term impacts, we recommend proposers
consult or work with experts in those domains.
