The Working Group Concept

In order to maximize the science return and legacy value of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s Wide Field Instrument (WFI), the Roman Project Office charters a number of Working Groups.  Each of these Working Groups is dedicated to discussing and advising the Roman Project and its partners on key elements for preparing for WFI data and operations.  Examples include calibration and processing of the WFI data, simulations of WFI data, and support for the definition of Roman's Core Community Surveys.  While the Working Groups are private, anyone in the scientific community can request membership below.

Please submit this form to request being added to any new Working Group, even if you have already requested access to other Working Groups. Being added to a Working Group not only grants you specific page permissions, but also adds you to the email listserve.
