NASA will hold a second, Precursor Science Workshop August 2–4, open to all, to continue conversation with the community about precursor science. NASA intends to fund precursor science through a new element of ROSES. The Precursor Science research element will fund precursor science investigations for all three great observatories recommended by Astro2020. The three-day Precursor Science Workshop II will build upon output from the first workshop this past April. The goals for the second workshop are to connect Precursor Science ideas to technology and the concept of a Science Traceability Matrix, and to provide a venue for further collaborative development precursor science ideas and science gaps related to the Future Great Observatories.
