YF1.00001: Plasma Science 2020 Decadal Survey: Overview and Opportunities for the Low Temperature Plasma Community Invited Speaker: Mark J. Kushner The Board on Physics and Astronomy of the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) conducts decadal surveys of the major fields of physics. The decadal surveys summarize progress over the past 10 years, anticipate science challenges and opportunities for the coming 10 years, and make policy recommendations for US Federal agencies. Although the policy recommendations are targeted to US agencies, the science findings, challenges and technical recommendations are internationally relevant. Plasma 2020 is the fourth decadal survey for plasma physics conducted by NASEM whose prepublication report was released to the public in late May 2020. The report, \textit{Plasma Science: Enabling Technology, Sustainability, Security, and Exploration} [1] discusses plasma science accomplishments and challenges in basic plasma science, laser-plasma interactions, high energy density physics, magnetic fusion energy, low temperature plasmas and space and astrophysical plasmas. The report highlights opportunities for interagency and interdisciplinary collaborations to meet these challenges. An overview of the report will be given with emphasis on opportunities for the low temperature plasma community.

YF1.00002: Perspective and update from the National Science Foundation Invited Speaker: Raymond Adomaitis The National Science Foundation supports plasma science and engineering research across the breadth of the field, from fundamental physics explorations, to studies of geospace and astrophysical plasma phenomena, to use-inspired engineering applications. Individual investigator projects in plasma science and engineering are supported through core programs in NSF Directorates for Engineering, Geosciences, and Mathematical and Physical Sciences, with more complex multi-disciplinary and other center-like efforts also supported by these as well as other NSF units. The interdisciplinary nature of low temperature plasma research, in particular, provides both challenges and opportunities for the community within the NSF funding structure. Recent NSF funding opportunities for interdisciplinary research included the Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation solicitation $(https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=13708)$ and the Growing Convergence Research solicitation $(https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505637)$. This presentation will provide a brief overview of some of the newly released NSF solicitations, recently funded projects, and other updates from NSF that may be of particular interest to the LTP community.\\ \\In collaboration with: Vyacheslav Lukin, National Science Foundation [Preview Abstract] |

YF1.00005: Discovery Plasma Science Invited Speaker: Scott Baalrud The American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics Community Planning Process (APS- DPP-CPP) was the first in a two-phase strategic planning process for Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) in the US Department of Energy. The APS-DPP-CPP report was completed in March 2020 and describes a consensus strategic plan for both the development of Fusion Science and Technology (FST) and Discovery Plasma Science (DPS) within FES. This talk will summarize the major finding of the DPS portion of the plan, with an emphasis on the low-temperature plasma and plasma-based technology aspects that are closely connected with the GEC community.
