General Investigator (GI) Program Proposal Calls
The Cycle 1 Call for Roman General Investigator (GI) Program Proposals is now live!
Investigators are invited to propose scientific studies using Roman data, which will have no exclusive-use period, as well as relevant theoretical or laboratory astrophysics research, and analyses of publicly available ancillary data pertinent to the mission. The Roman GI program also accepts proposals for new General Astrophysics Survey (GAS) observations with associated funding and computing support, with up to six new GAS programs to be selected, totalling ≤1200 hours of observing time in Cycle 1.
Roman proposal calls and submissions are led by the Roman Science Support Center at IPAC. A direct link to their resources on the current call, including information on Roman’s community-defined surveys, how to submit a proposal, and the help desk, is provided in the table below.
For links to additional helpful documentation and Roman technical information, please see our Key Resources page here.

Roman Scientist Social Media
We are excited to announce the launch of new social media accounts for scientists who want to work with Roman: @NancyRomanSci
NancyRomanSci is managed by the Roman Science Centers and provides researchers with the most up-to-date information related to doing science with NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
These accounts will promote and distribute practical aspects of the mission relevant to scientists, including, but not limited to, proposal deadlines, conferences, tools, training opportunities, committee reports, software development, instrument capabilities, observation planning, etc.
