A next generation Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) mission to follow the upcoming Swift mission is described. The proposed Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope, EXIST, would have a high GRB trigger sensitivity, broad-band spectral and temporal response, and spatial resolution over a very wide field, perhaps the entire unocculted sky. It would provide high resolution spectra and locations for GRBs detected at high energies with GLAST. Together with the next generation missions Constellation-X, Webb Space Telescope, LISA and large optical-survey telescopes, EXIST would enable GRBs to be used as probes of the early Universe and the first generation of stars. EXIST alone would give 10 arcsec -50 arcsec positions for GRBs, approximate redshifts from spectral/temporal lags, and constrain physics of jets, orphan afterglows, and neutrino emission.
