Opportunities Within Science and Technology

OPPORTUNITIES 7

Much of our budget comes from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) and Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD).

Much of our Science budget is competed, while all of our technology work is directed.

A large part of our science and technology budget is spent on procurement.

Rocket Technology Stops Shaking in its Tracks

“One small device, less than 100 pounds can knock out the resonant response of a 650,000-pound vehicle. What else can we do?” - Rob Berry, Engineer, Marshall Space Flight Center

2017 Dual Use Technology Development Cooperative Agreement Notice (CAN) at NASA MSFC

• NNM16ZCS001C• Scope: Award cooperative agreements for technology development

partnerships. MSFC resource contribution awards range from $10,000 to $100,000.

• The CAN will follow a 2-step process for proposal submissions. Step-1 of the proposal process is submission of a White Paper by the Offeror. The Offerormay submit a Step-1 White Paper. In Step-2 of the process, NASA will assess each White Paper submitted and invite selected Offerors to submit a full project proposal. Finally, NASA will select up to eight proposals for a cooperative agreement award and will be given a project start date.

• The next opportunity deadline to submit a White Paper is 2 May 2017.
