Abstract

The National Research Council Canada Herzberg Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Centre (NRC/HAA) is one of a few astrophysics research centers in the world that embodies science, technology development, and data archiving and analysis across ultraviolet, optical, infrared, and radio wavelengths. Our research centre is involved in both short and long term instrumentation and observatory development projects. We conduct significant strategic R&D in-house and also in collaboration with external organizations. In order to guide our future research and development, we have implemented roadmaps that connect Canadian science strategic directions to current and future observing capabilities, and that identify needed technology development to achieve our goals. In this paper we present the process of developing these roadmaps, and describe the science and technology directions that we are pursuing as a result of this strategic planning.
