Grace Roman Space Telescope mission, and using up to ~700 hours of wall clock time. This would be in addition to the Core Community Surveys already being planned for the mission, and would be part of the overall time set aside for Astrophysics Surveys. The
survey and the investigations it enables must be scientifically compelling, and be significantly enhanced by specific preparatory activities that are enabled by early selection and definition.

Oceanography at the University of California San Diego from 1965 to 1986. The Nierenberg Prize is awarded annually by Scripps Institution of Oceanography for outstanding contributions to science in the public interest and includes a bronze medal and $25,000.
Awardees are chosen by a Prize Committee. Recipients have included biologist E.O. Wilson, nature documentary maker Sir David Attenborough, newscaster Walter Cronkite, primatologist Jane Goodall, filmmaker James Cameron, and astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees,
among others. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

institute should promote interdisciplinary education and workforce training between these two disciplines. Research activities conducted at the institute should be focused on emerging and important topics at the interface of the mathematical and biological
sciences, with the expectation to develop new mathematical methodologies inspired by biological problems. The institute should primarily focus on advances in theory and mathematics that are motivated by and applicable to the analysis of complex biological
systems. The institute will conduct interdisciplinary education and training through research involvement of doctoral degree recipients and graduate students from across this multi-disciplinary spectrum. The institute is also expected to conduct convening
activities, including short-term and/or long-term visitor programs, workshops, and/or outreach activities. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility are expected to be core values of the institute and should be reflected in its research, education, outreach
programs, and its leadership. The institute is expected to serve as a national resource that aims to advance research in the mathematical and biological sciences through programs supporting discovery and knowledge dissemination in mathematical biology and
enhancing connections to related fields.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
