About this Event

The Decadal Survey on Biological and Physical Sciences in Space 2023-2032 will begin later this year, bringing the research community together to identify priorities for the next decade. For the first time, the decadal survey will include a NASA request to present ideas for "research campaigns," which may integrate multiple missions and multiple disciplines to tackle an overarching scientific or exploration goal. During the webinar, invited speakers discussed the decadal survey, flagship missions in NASA's science mission directorate, and how to form teams and develop ideas for decadal survey white papers.
