NASA JSC Solicitation: Open Innovation Support Services
“NASA/JSC is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for an Open Innovation Service Provider (OISP) with an extensive external network that can be used to introduce collaboration opportunities to the public. Specifically, NASA is looking for an entity that supports a network of experts that can facilitate solutions to a vast array of issues and challenges facing the future of human health and performance in spaceflight. Challenges are of varied type and difficulty and could include technological, biological, or human modeling needs. The OISP will provide NASA with the methodology and infrastructure to facilitate Open Innovation within the NASA JSC Space Life Sciences Directorate organization and for solutions to outsourced challenges or problems.”
Keith’s note: I am a little confused as to what the folks behind this solicitation at JSC are asking for. As best as I can determine, they want people to submit a bunch of ideas – about everything – and that these people submitting the ideas need to have a well-stocked Rolodex.
