To help the community prepare for the Roman proposal opportunities, this session will provide an overview of the current Call for Proposals and introduce the key tools and resources available to support competitive proposal preparation. The session will include an introduction to the community-defined surveys and the proposal process itself. We will walk through suggested steps for crafting proposals for both new observations and data analysis. Participants will learn how to incorporate the essential planning and proposal tools from previous webinars, including the Roman Telescope Proposal System ( RTPS), the Astronomer’s Proposal Tool (APT), and the Exposure Time Calculator (ETC). This session is intended for astronomers interested in proposing for Roman data analysis investigations and/or new general astrophysics surveys and seeking a practical introduction to the current Roman proposal ecosystem.
