The emphasis of the ROSES opportunity D.16 Astrophysics Decadal Survey Precursor Science (ADSPS) is on science investigations that will reduce future Great Observatory mission risk and inform mission designs and trades when those activities begin. All three Great Observatory concepts identified in the Astro2020 Decadal Survey Report are in the scope of this activity. The precursor science investigations solicited by this program element may include, but are not limited to, theoretical and computational studies, laboratory astrophysics investigations, archival research, and observational investigations.
ROSES-2022 Amendment 76 releases final text and due dates for this program element, which was TBD. Mandatory notices of intent (NOIs) are due 20 January 2023, and Proposals are due 24 March 2023.
Proposals will be evaluated via dual-anonymous peer review (DAPR) process (see Section 2.7), and this program element is participating in the Inclusion Plan Pilot Program (see Section 2.8).
Please direct questions concerning D.16 ADSPS to Doris Daou at Doris.Daou@nasa.gov.
