We propose a comprehensive Legacy survey to characterize the infrared emission across the entire range of galaxy properties and star formation environments, including regions that until now have been inaccessible at infrared wavelengths. SINGS will provide: 1) New insights into the physical processes connecting star formation to the ISM properties of galaxies; 2) A vital foundation of data, diagnostic tools, and astrophysical inputs for understanding SIRTF observations of the distant universe and ultraluminous and active galaxies; and 3) An archive that integrates visible/UV and IR/submillimeter studies into a coherent self-consistent whole, and enables many follow-up investigations of star formation and the ISM. SINGS will characterize the large-scale infrared properties of galaxies and their principal infrared-emitting components through SIRTF imaging and low-resolution spectroscopy of 75 nearby galaxies (d < 30 Mpc), and targeted high-resolution spectroscopy of their centers and a representative set of extranuclear IR-emitting regions in the galaxies. These data will be combined with an extensive library of ground- and space-based data at other wavelengths.
