• Approximately 30 Step-1 preliminary proposals are expected to be received in July 2020.

• NRESS will assist in the preparation of evaluation forms and Instructions to Reviewers.

NRESS shall provide a site for NSPIRES submission of reviews; all users will need to be registered in NSPIRES. NRESS will staff a Help Desk to assist reviewers in access to the NSPIRES site and guide reviewers through the system to enable them to enter their review data.

• NASA will provide NRESS with the names of potential peer reviewers. If needed (based on the volume of applications received), NRESS will assist in providing that will help STMD in securing peer reviewers. NASA-internal reviewers will be used.

Final assigned reviewers will have no conflict of interest.

• Remaining support requirements for this activity expected to be captured under a subsequent work plan.

Requirements for delivery of specific items (as requested by NASA):

• At least two weeks prior to each panel meeting, provide the following to the appropriate

NASA program official: 1) a spreadsheet of proposals to be considered, 2) list of approved reviewer assignments.

• Electronic versions of preliminary critiques are to be made available to the appropriate

NASA program official within calendar days of completion of a review panel meeting.

• Procurement packages containing a copy of the solicitation cover page, original proposals, and copies of selection letters, to be delivered to the NASA program official for grant processing within workdays after selection letters have been mailed.

B. Reporting Requirements

The following reporting requirements are for the overall contract. All other reporting requirements will be specified in other Work Plans.

• Performance Reporting (to Customer Performance Monitor)

• Ad hoc reporting

This request requires a report from the contractor naming each individual traveler, stating the purpose of their travel (e.g., AIAA conference), and with a breakdown of estimated costs for each traveler, e.g., for airfare, per diem, etc. This report is to be provided to the NASA program official before the travel occurs and must be approved by a civil servant that will serve as the authorization necessary for “invitational travel orders.” This report can be provided by email to the NASA program official and should be approved via return email to the contractor. Updates and changes to the report can be communicated also via email to the NASA program official. This report will be due at least three weeks before the travel is to commence.
