Confusing ROSES-08 Amendment

NASA ROSES-08 Amendment 8: Cancellation of Space Policy Research program

“This amendment cancels the program element in Appendix E.5 entitled “Space Policy Research.” At this time, the SMD program cannot support new investigations in this area. No Space Policy Research investigations will be solicited at this time.”

Editor’s note: I am confused. This says “Appendix E.5 entitled Space Policy Research” yet this is what Section E.5 is titled: “E.5 OPPORTUNITIES IN SCIENCE MISSION DIRECTORATE EDUCATION AND PUBLIC OUTREACH”. Does NASA mean to cancel “E.6 SPACE POLICY RESEARCH” or are they canceling education and public outreach?

Editor’s update: According to NASA “E6 (Space Policy) has been canceled, not E5 (E/PO)”.
