Title: APOGEE's plans for exploring the bulge Abstract: APOGEE is nearing the end of its 10 year, high resolution, infrared spectroscopic survey of stellar chemical abundances and kinematics. The Galactic bulge is a primary focus of APOGEE’s goal to probe all parts of the Milky Way, and this region of the Galaxy will be probed both with giant stars and RR Lyrae stars. The latter target class provide a kinematic census of the old bulge, while the former enables the Metallicity Distribution Function and detailed chemical abundance patterns of the bulge to be derived. The status of the APOGEE exploitation of the bulge will be discussed.
