The Program Information form contains the descriptive information about the program, including the Title, Abstract, and Program ID. These fields help provide context for the Survey Plan defined in the program, and investigators are encouraged to provide complete responses. Icons with a  red X indicate errors in APT, but can also simply indicate required fields for which relevant data have not yet been entered. Warnings in APT are also discussed in this video produced for JWST.

Where to Enter Program Information

The APT form editor screen is the main way that users will add the relevant information about their program into APT. Please see the Figure for Demonstration Program Information for a view of how the program information form looks in the form editor view. Additionally, the Program Description, Principal Investigator(s) (PI), and Co-Investigator(s) (CoI) can be added with the form editor. The Figure of the Principal Investigator Form Editor View in APT contains details on adding the individuals to the program. Please note that the terms Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator are adopted from the HST and JWST missions and are subject to change to better represent how the astronomical community will interface with the Roman mission.

Program ID 

Program ID

Enter the Program ID of the approved program (if not already entered by your Program Coordinator). Program ID is used only for approved programs (see Submission). The allowed range is 1-18445 . 

Program status in APT (Draft or Approved) is shown on the Program Information form:

• When a new program is created, Program ID is empty, and the program is labeled "Draft." 
• After Program ID is entered, the program is labeled "Approved." 

To reset a program to Draft, remove the Program ID . The program is once again labeled "Draft."

Category 

Category  = GI (default), CCS , CGI , CAL , ENG , COM , NASA

Select one Category. Definitions and the allowed Sub-Categories for each Category are shown in the Table of Category Definitions.

Sub-Category

Category =  OR  (default), DR , CR , TR ,  AR , CAL , GBTD , HLTD , HLWA , CGI , WFI , WFSC , MU , SK , SC
