Mission The High Energy Physics Advisory Panel advises the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation on the national program in experimental and theoretical high energy physics research. It provides recommendations on long-range plans, priorities, funding levels, and strategies to advance scientific discovery in this field.

Services Scientific advising; program prioritization; strategic planning

Regulations None

The High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) is a permanent advisory committee to the United States Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation, created in 1967 and organized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972.

Under the FACA, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel meets in public, and subpanels are appointed to meet and deliberate in private. In high-energy physics, peer review groups of scientists, knowledgeable in their fields, are asked to sit on these subpanels, and to make recommendations about future high energy physics projects. HEPAP either accepts or rejects panels’ recommendations, and the Department of Energy decides which projects to support in turn.

Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel, a subcommittee of HEPAP, produces periodic reports, roughly once a decade, outlining funding priorities for particle physics investments by the United States. Its most recent report was released in December 2023.
