New Proposal Requirements: Space Commercialization Initiative

From: C. LaRuse  (claruse at igpp.ucla.edu)

NASA's new proposal submission requirements. To be consistent with NASA agency-wide policies, the Helioscience Division is now accepting research proposals only from commercial entities such as for-profit universities and small businesses. NASA plans to sponsor workshops on how to set up a small business to assist research scientists with the transition. These workshops will have a small registration fee to cover costs. These registration fees should not be paid out of NASA grants or contract funds. We trust that the adoption of these new rules eases the burden placed on researchers by current regulations.
