STTR Research Topics
NASAs STTR Solicitation Research Topics are
based on Centers of Excellence at nine NASA
Installations. Centers of Excellence represent a
focused, Agency-wide leadership responsibility in
a specific area of technology, and are charged to
be preeminent within NASA, if not worldwide, with
respect to human resources, facilities, and other
critical capabilities associated with their
particular area of excellence
21
STTR Research Topics
Information Technology (Ames) Atmospheric Flight
Operations (Dryden) Turbo-machinery (Glenn) Earth
Science Physics and Astronomy (Goddard) Human
Operations in Space (Johnson) Launch and Payload
Processing (Kennedy) Materials and Structures
(Langley) Space Propulsion (Marshall) Rocket
Propulsion Testing Systems (Stennis)
22
Selection Process

• All proposals are submitted electronically via
  the internet
• Proposals are screened for administrative
  completeness and then sent to the managing NASA
  Center for technical review

23
Selection Process

• Evaluation Criteria
• Scientific/Technical Merit and Feasibility
• Experience, Qualifications and Facilities
• Effectiveness of the Proposed Work Plan
• Commercial Merit and Feasibility

24
Selection Process

• All proposals are reviewed by NASA personnel at
  Centers
• Centers provide ranked listing to Program
  Management Office (PMO)
• PMO then prepares selection options for Source
  Selection Official (and HQ Enterprise
  Representatives) who makes final selections
