Regarding: AMENDMENT NO. 8 TO NASA RESEARCH ANNOUNCEMENT (NRA)
ENTITLED RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES IN SPACE SCIENCE 2004
(ROSS-04), NNH04ZSS001N RELEASED JANUARY 30, 2004.


NASA Headquarters has recently released an amendment to ROSS-04
concerning the RXTE Guest Investigator Program. The due date for
proposals to the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) RXTE Guest
Investigator Program Cycle 10 described in Appendix A.8 is changed
from Friday, September 10, 2004, to Monday, September 20, 2004. With
this new deadline in place, there is now no conflict between the dates of
the upcoming AAS HEAD meeting in New Orleans and the RXTE proposal
deadline. The full text of the amendment to ROSS-04 may be found at:

http://research.hq.nasa.gov/code_s/nra/current/NNH04ZSS001N/amend8.html

Information regarding RXTE Cycle 10 proposal preparation and submission may
be found on the RXTE Website at

http://rxte.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xte/cycle10_stage1.html

Note that the Panel Report of the 2004 Senior Review of Astronomy and Physics
MO&DA Programs recommended that RXTE's GO funding be enhanced. We
expect that the amount of funding available to GOs will thus be increased
somewhat in Cycle 10, though the exact amount is not known at this time.


As always, please send any questions to xtehelp@athena.gsfc.nasa.gov
