NASA Science Mission Directorate Draft Strategic Plan Review

Review of the NASA Science Mission Directorate Draft Strategic Plan
“In preparation for the release of its quadrennial strategic plan in February 2014, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD) at NASA asked the National Research Council to review a draft plan. In a new report, the Research Council provides specific recommendations in each of these key areas that would improve the clarity and consistency of the plan. The report notes that it is “more important than ever” for NASA to describe in plain language how it will prioritize and apportion its resources within the science program.”
