Where appropriate, in both the ROSES-2023 Summary of Solicitation and the six research overviews other small updates were also made, such as to the list of program elements and the references to the "Proposer's Guide" (formerly the Guidebook for Proposers). New text is in bold. Direct general questions concerning the ROSES-2023 Summary of Solicitation to Max Bernstein at SARA@nasa.gov, general questions concerning the OSDMP to HQ-SMD-SPD41@mail.nasa.gov, questions regarding the division overviews to the R&A leads, and questions about particular program elements to their respective point(s) of contact, all of whom may be found at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/program-officers-list/ [Edited for length] 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 [NASA] ANNOUNCEMENT OF OPPORTUNITY SOLAR TERRESTRIAL PROBES PROGRAM DYNAMICAL NEUTRAL ATMOSPHERE-IONOSPHERE COUPLING (DYNAMIC) FINAL TEXT RELEASED Number: NNH23ZDA019O Release Date: May 19, 2023 Pre-Proposal Conference Date: June 6, 2023 (target) Mandatory Notice of Intent to Propose Due: June 30, 2023 Proposals Due: August 22, 2023 https://go.nasa.gov/DynamicAO23 The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD) is announcing the release of the final text for the Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for Dynamical Neutral Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling (DYNAMIC) under the Solar Terrestrial Probes (STP) Program.

The SC organizes SBAG meetings, writes official findings, and takes a leadership role in activities where community input is needed. The Human Exploration Lead is an individual actively involved in studying human exploration (or adjacent tasks in support of that endeavor), aware of current challenges and advances in the field, to lead SBAG activities relevant to human exploration. Under their guidance, SBAG will continue advancing our knowledge of potential small body destinations and their environments for human exploration. The application requires: 1) a two-page CV, including a description of participation in SBAG or other small bodies organizations, 2) a short (300 words maximum) statement of interest. Selection criteria include participation in small bodies community organizations, leadership experience, and relevant research/mission experience. In support of diversity, applicants may specify gender, whether they belong to an underrepresented group in STEM, or other relevant information. E-mail applications to Lori Feaga (feaga@astro.umd.edu) by May 31, 8:00 PM EDT. New members will be announced at the 29th Meeting of SBAG.
