TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP: Discovery 2014 AO

To the Discovery 2014 Technology and Proposal Communities,
 
In the upcoming Discovery 2014 Announcement of Opportunity, NASA is considering offering as Government Furnished Equipment a number of NASA-developed technologies. In preparation for this, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate and Space Technology Mission Directorate are co-hosting a “Technology Workshop”. The goal of this event is to educate the potential proposing community on each technology being offered and inform how each technology will be supported to the proposal team.
 
All interested parties may attend. All expenses and arrangements for attending this meeting are the responsibility of the attendees. Note that travel and associated costs of attendance are not allowable as direct costs under another federal Government award, e.g., a contract, grant, or cooperative agreement. Government employees may attend and be authorized travel and associated costs as a matter of official business.
 
This is the final announcement for the meeting to be held on Wednesday, April 9, 2014 from 8:00AM to 6:30PM at the One Washington Circle Hotel. The hotel is one block north of Foggy Bottom Metro Station on the Blue or Orange Lines.
 
The workshop will be divided into two sections: briefings on each technology offering in the morning and the opportunity for small-group meetings in the afternoon. In order to reach the widest audience possible, each briefing will also webcast. Webcast and telecom details are located below. The final agenda is now posted, including scheduled one-on-ones with the technologies for those who RSVP’d by last Friday’s deadline. Additional time slots for one-on-one either in-person or via telecom will be available to be scheduled the day of.
 
Thank you in advance for helping to support the 2014 Discovery Announcement of Opportunity and advance the use of new technologies for space science.
 
Sincerely,
