{{Short description|Scientific advisory body of the US government}}
The '''High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP)''' is a permanent advisory committee to the United States Department of Energy and the National Academy of Sciences, created in 1967 and organized under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972.<ref name="hepap">{{cite web | title = High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) | publisher = U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science | url = http://science.energy.gov/hep/hepap }}</ref>

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.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Riordan |first=Michael |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/907132862 |title=Tunnel visions : the rise and fall of the superconducting super collider |date=2015 |author2=Lillian Hoddeson|author3=Adrienne W.

The [[Physics:Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel|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.<ref name="p5about">{{cite web | title = About P5 | work = Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) | publisher = U.S. Particle Physics | url = http://usparticlephysics.org/p5archive | access-date = 2014-06-16 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140525025019/http://www.usparticlephysics.org/p5archive | archive-date = 2014-05-25 | url-status = dead }}</ref> Its most recent report was released in December 2023.
