论文摘要
我们回顾了与NASA的研究和分析计划有关的一些关键问题，并提出了缓解或解决这些问题的推荐行动。特别是，我们建议NASA增加资金以支持R＆A计划的健康选择率（约40％），该计划基于NASA任务数据加入了很多科学发现，并且大多数美国行星科学界都依赖于该计划（部分或全部）。我们还建议NASA可以采取其他行动，以确保美国一个更公平，更可持续的行星科学研究界，包括支持下一代的行星研究人员，努力最大程度地减少同行评审的偏见，并在准备R＆A提案时减少科学家的负担。
We review some key issues pertaining to NASA's Research and Analysis programs, and offer recommended actions to mitigate or resolve these issues. In particular, we recommended that NASA increases funding to support a healthy selection rate (~40%) for R&A programs, which underpin much scientific discovery with NASA mission data, and on which the majority of the U.S. planetary science community relies (either in part or wholly). We also recommend additional actions NASA can take to ensure a more equitable and sustainable planetary science research community in the U.S., including supporting the next generations of planetary researchers, working to minimize biases in peer review, and reducing the burden of scientists as they prepare R&A proposals.
