The STScI Director has decided to devote 600-1000 orbits of Director's Discretionary time in observing Cycles 27-29 to a new Hubble Ultraviolet Legacy Initiative program focused on star formation and associated stellar physics. The Ultraviolet Legacy Initiative program will be modeled after the Frontier Fields program: all data obtained will be non-proprietary.

The Working Group will consist of approximately 8-10 members of the astronomical community selected by STScI and the Working Group Chair, Prof. Sally Oey (University of Michigan). The Chair of the Working Group will organize the meetings of the Working Group, and STScI will provide logistical (travel, meeting, telecon, etc.) support as needed. We expect that the Working Group will have at least one face-to-face meeting, supplemented by regular telecons and email exchanges.

The Ultraviolet Legacy Initiative program follows in the footsteps of the Hubble Frontier Fields Initiativeprogram, and will be modeled after the Frontier Fields program. All data obtained will be non-proprietary, as will contributed data and information, which in return will be recognized with appropriate citation and attribution. STScI will identify an in-house team to implement the program and produce high-level data products for dissemination to the community. Opportunities to supplement these core observations and perform archival research will be available through the standard HST Calls for Proposals.
