Astrophysics (Appendix D) Inclusion Plan Text Update

Several Astrophysics ROSES-2022 program elements (D.3 APRA, D.7 SAT, D.12 TCAN, D.14 Roman Telescope Opportunities, D.15 LPS, and D.16 ADSPS) require an Inclusion Plan as part of the proposal. The Inclusion Plan language has been made uniform and consistent among all those Astrophysics elements that require an Inclusion Plan. On or about October 5, 2022, the inclusion plan language in D.3 APRA, D.7 SAT, D.12 TCAN, and D.15 LPS has been replaced in its entirety. Any ROSES-2022 program elements that are still TBD but that will require an inclusion plan (e.g., D.14 and D.16) will adopt this new standard language when final text is released. The essential components of the inclusion plan and the evaluation questions have not changed. The assessment of the Inclusion Plan will not be part of the adjectival rating for the proposal and will not inform the selection of proposals. However, funding will be released to selected institutions only once a satisfactory Inclusion Plan is approved by the selection official.

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.
