During the cryogenic mission the Spitzer Fellowship program was one of the crown jewels of the User Community funding program. Seven classes of Spitzer fellows were selected to do exciting, cutting-edge science with Spitzer. The funding profile for the warm mission did not support the addition of new fellows to the program.
