Amendment 14: DRAFT D.14 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Research and Support Participation Opportunities for Community Comment

When it is released as final text, D.14 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Research and Support Participation Opportunities will solicit proposals aimed at supporting the progress of and exploiting the scientific and technical data from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, formerly known as the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope or WFIRST, the top-ranked large space mission recommended by the National Academies decadal survey of astronomy and astrophysics for 2012-2021, New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics. This opportunity will comprise three categories: Wide Field Science (WFS); Project Infrastructure Teams (PITs); and Coronagraph Community Participation Program (CPP).

ROSES-2022 Amendment 14 releases a draft version of program element D.14 for community comment. Comments and questions concerning this draft of D.14 Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Research and Support Participation Opportunities are due by May 31, 2022, to Dominic Benford at Dominic.Benford@nasa.gov, with the subject line "D.14 Roman Feedback".

Technical questions concerning this program element may be directed to Julie McEnery, the Roman Project Scientist at julie.e.mcenery@nasa.gov.

On or about April 29, 2022, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2022" (NNH22ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
