I will summarize the scope and guiding principles of the program, and present demographic information illustrating its current makeup as well as recent trends in such programmatic factors as budget profile and proposal submission/selection statistics. I will also identify some challenges facing the program in the hopes that these issues may stimulate further discussion throughout the workshop. 8 NSF's Role in Funding Laboratory Astrophysics Harshal Gupta The National Science Foundation, Division of Astronomical Science, Alexandria, VA [email protected] The Division of Astronomical Sciences at the National Science Foundation (NSF) supports all areas of astronomy and astrophysics. This includes laboratory astrophysics that seeks to address fundamental scientific questions and critical needs of the wider astronomy community. In addi- tion, NSF's Divisions of Chemistry and Physics contribute to supporting laboratory astrophysics. This talk will present NSF's broad portfolio of laboratory astrophysics projects that enable astron- omy, addressing NSF's role in the broader context of federal funding and emphasizing areas that complement NASA's priorities. 9 An Overview of Laboratory Astrophysics Needs for NASA Missions Nancy Brickhouse Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA [email protected] Laboratory astrophysics has contributed to the success of many NASA missions over the last decade. A few examples will demonstrate the effort needed, often requiring synergies among theoretical calculations, experimental tests, and astrophysical data analysis. I will then address specific areas of work needed looking toward the future. 10 Critical Laboratory Astrophysics Needs for Current and Near-Term NASA X-ray Astrophysics Missions Robert Petre NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD [email protected] The grating spectrometers on Chandra and XMM-Newton and the X-ray calorimeter on Hitomi have provided the clearest view to date of spectra in the 0.2-10 keV band. These spectrometers have also revealed
