Scientific paper

As the line continues to blur between professional and amateur astronomy, it becomes important to examine the role collaboration between the two can play in the coming decade. Towards this end, the AAVSO is coordinating the First Decadal Survey of Amateur Astronomy and Astrophysics. Similar to the professional survey, the goal is to carry out an assessment of professional-amateur collaboration in astronomy and astrophysics, both previously recognized and new, and to prepare a concise report, recommending specific projects and areas of scientifically useful collaborations and studies, addressed to professional and amateur astronomical organizations, agencies supporting the field, the governmental committees with jurisdiction over those agencies, the general scientific community, and the public at large. Public participation at all levels is not only invited but required for this to result in a report of value to the community.
