This update corrects an oversight in the original announcement, adding the Open Science and Data Management Plan to Table D.8-1 \"Parts of the Anonymized Technical Proposal\" in Section 3.4. The correction is marked in bold for clarity.\n\nThe program maintains its original deadlines: Notices of Intent (NOIs) are due by September 10, 2026, with proposals due on October 26, 2026. Proposals for this program will undergo evaluation through dual anonymous peer review. Any inquiries regarding D.8 HWO-PSI should be directed to Megan Ansdell at Megan.C.Ansdell@nasa.gov.",
