STATEMENT OF WORK for NASA FIRST Reimagined

1. Objective/Requirements

NASA FIRST (Foundations of Influence, Relationships, Success, and Teamwork)

Reimagined focuses on developing leadership capabilities and intra-agency collaboration by exploring three components: NASA as an agency, awareness of self, and team dynamics.

The focus of this program is twofold, the first is to help emerging leaders stretch beyond their respective technical expertise to eventually take on Team Lead and other leadership roles; and the second is to equip emerging leaders within the NASA workforce with the necessary management and leadership skills that are essential to success as a result of promotions to higher levels and to prepare employees for leadership roles so they can best accomplish NASA’s mission.

The requirement for this task is that the vendor will lead the implementation and facilitation effort for the NASA FIRST Reimagined Program.

2. Characteristics, Scope, and Specs

NASA is a very diverse organization that employs engineers, scientists, researchers, technicians and administrative professionals that support research efforts from varying backgrounds and ages.

The NASA FIRST Reimagined Program is expected to launch April 2022 with 60 participants (GS 11-12 or GS 13s with less than 1 year in grade experience).

The nine (9) month part-time program will be conducted in a hybrid learning environment with a mix of virtual and in-person sessions.

Over the course of the program there will be 3 in-person modules as well as a separate in person graduation event. Modules will run from Monday – Thursday and be held at various

NASA centers. The graduation event will be held at NASA HQ in Washington, DC.

Building on the previous NASA FIRST Redesign and development task, the contractor shall provide all the necessary labor and resources to facilitate and deliver work for this task including:

• Acting as lead facilitator for the entire program which consists of 3 modules and one graduation.

o Module one: 16 hours planned virtual delivery, 40 hours face to face delivery, 2 hours learning group coordination and 10 hours interim session coordination.

o Module two: 8 hours planned virtual delivery, 28 hours face to face delivery, 2 hours learning group coordination and 10 hours interim session coordination.

As of 12-13-21 2 o Module three: 12 hours planned virtual delivery, 28 hours face to face delivery, 2 hours learning group coordination and 5 hours interim session coordination.
