The KITP invites collaborating researchers who were participants of selected, recent programs to apply to visit, in order to pursue work initiated during their prior KITP visits. The goal is to enhance those collaborative efforts initiated at a KITP program that would clearly benefit from a brief, focused return to the KITP.

Groups of 2-6 members with established collaborations arising from the following programs may apply to visit for 1 or 2 weeks within the period of February 6-April 21, 2017 (The week of February 27 is not available):

• From Genes to Growth and Form (MORPHO16)
• Astrophysics from LIGO’s First Black Holes (GWAVES_M16)
• Frontiers in Nuclear Physics (NUCLEAR16)

Calls will be issued later for participants from other programs.

Proposals should be short, consisting of 1-2 pages justifying the group of researchers who will participate, explaining the science and objectives that the group will pursue during the visit, and explicitly state the preferred dates when the group can come. Visits must be for one or two complete weeks, with all applicants in residence at the same time. Applying to the program consists of two steps:

1. One collaborator must submit the group's proposal.
2. Each member of the proposed group must also fill out a brief online application by clicking "apply" on this page's right-hand toolbar.

All application materials must be received by December 5, 2016. Invitations will be issued by January 5, 2017.

For those invited to participate, KITP will reserve and directly pay for housing at West Cottages and provide office space in Kohn Hall during the visits. Visitors will be fully responsible for travel, meals and any other expenses.
