Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

SALMON-3 AO
The Third Stand Alone Missions of Opportunity Notice (SALMON-3 = NNH17ZDA004O) Announcement of Opportunity (AO) is an omnibus, meaning it hosts individual flight opportunities each with its own topic and due date. The Table of SALMON-3 PEA Due Dates has hypertext links to each program element appendix (PEA) in SALMON-3.

NASA Astrophysics Advisory Committee Nominations Due March 31, 2020
The Astrophysics Division invites nominations for service on the Astrophysics Advisory Committee (APAC) that advises the Astrophysics Division Director.
Nominations, including self-nominations, are sought for consideration to fill vacancies on the APAC. There will be member vacancies from time to time throughout the year, and NASA will consider nominations and self-nominations to fill such intermittent vacancies. Nominees will only be contacted should a vacancy be available and it is judged that their area(s) of expertise is appropriate for that specific vacancy. NASA is committed to selecting members to serve on these committees based on their individual expertise, knowledge, experience, and current/past contributions in a relevant subject area. NASA is committed to ensuring that the membership of the APAC draws from the diversity of the entire U.S. astrophysics community.
APAC members must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents in the U.S., and must be working at a U.S. institution. All member appointments are non-compensated. However, NASA does cover travel and per diem expenses for all member appointments.
The deadline for NASA receipt of all nominations is March 31, 2020.
To be considered by NASA, nomination and self-nomination packages must be sent to NASA as an email. The following information is required to be included as part of each nomination package: (1) A cover email with subject line, "APAC: nomination"; (2) a professional resume (one-page maximum, included as an attachment); and, (3) a professional biography (one-page maximum; included as an attachment) that includes experience and contributions relevant to NASA subject areas. All nomination or self-nomination packages must be submitted electronically via email to NASA at [email protected]; hard-copy nominations will not be accepted. Note: nomination packages that do not include the three (3) mandatory elements listed above will not receive further consideration by NASA.
Funding for Citizen Science in ROSES-2019
Citizen Science is a form of open collaboration in which individuals or organizations participate voluntarily in the scientific process in various ways (see policy document on citizen science). Unless otherwise noted in the program element, proposals submitted to any ROSES-2019 call may be entirely or partially citizen science-based and additional funding may be available for proposals incorporating citizen science. Citizen science projects shall be held to the same rigorous standards as any SMD science program. For more information on ongoing SMD citizen science projects, see https://science.nasa.gov/citizenscientists or email [email protected].
Need Advice about ROSES and proposal writing?
On the library and useful links page we have added a new resource that may be useful to those who are new to proposing to ROSES. Presentations by Max Bernstein (NASA HQ) and Christina Richey (JPL) about ROSES how to write a proposal are now available. Both the video (thanks to the SETI Institute) and both PDF and PPT versions of Max's slides may be found in the SARA Library.
