To enable Roman's broad science goals, the Wide Field Instrument's observing program will include both Core Community Surveys and General Astrophysics Surveys. The majority of Roman’s five-year nominal mission will be devoted to the Core Community Surveys, which include a High Latitude Wide Area survey (HLWAS), a High Latitude Time Domain survey (HLTDS), and a Galactic Bulge Time Domain survey (GBTDS), with a minimum of 25% of the five year nominal mission devoted to General Astrophysics Surveys. 

The Core Community Surveys will be capable of meeting the Roman Mission’s cosmology and exoplanet science requirements while leaving significant parameter space available to establish the observational strategies (filters, depth, cadence, etc.) in a way that will enable a broad range of astrophysical investigations.
