PURPOSE
This Marshall Work Instruction (MWI) establishes responsibilities and procedures for the decision and implementing process to use NASA Research Announcements (NRAs) and Cooperative Agreement Notices (CANs).
NASA's policy is to use competitive procedures to award grants whenever possible. A grant can result from:
(a) A proposal submitted in response to a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) such as an NRA, an Announcement of Opportunity (AO), and a CAN, an Agency-wide program announcement such as the Graduate Student Research Program, or other forms of announcements approved by the Associate Administrator for Procurement. NRAs are described in the NASA Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Supplement (NFS) 48 CFR 1835.016. AOs are described in 48 CFR Part 1872.
(b) An unsolicited proposal for new and innovative ideas. (See the Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook § 1260.17.)
This MWI does not address the processing of AOs.
APPLICABILITY
This MWI applies to all MSFC organizations.
