Yet Another NASA Blue Ribbon Panel

Independent Assessment of NASA’s Strategic Direction and Management
“This proposal requests funding for the NRC’s Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences to organize an ad-hoc study to determine whether the strategic direction of NASA remains viable and if the agency’s activities and organization efficiently and effectively support that direction in light of the potential for constrained budgets in the foreseeable future. The study will be carried out by staff from the division’s Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board and Space Studies Board. The amount requested is $834,104 for the period January 15, 2012 to January 14, 2013.”
