NASA Smdp Announcement of Selection of Proposal to Support Planetary Science Analysis/Assessment Groups (PAGS)

The Planetary Science Division (PSD) is pleased to announce that the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) has been selected to provide support for the Planetary Analysis/Assessment Groups (PAGs) for the next three years.  The PAGs serve as important community-driven forums for the Planetary Science community and for NASA, gathering inputs and perspectives in key topical areas.  While PSD has supported the PAGs for many years, the consolidation of support under a single organization will:

·        Provide for equitable treatment of the PAGs

·        Serve as a mechanism for rapidly incorporating best practices across the PAGs

In particular, PSD looks forward to working with LPI and the PAGs to find ways of improving Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) within the PAGs and the entire planetary science community.
