From page 116...
... This includes internal, collaborative and competitively sourced research, development, analysis, etc. While the primary objective is to conduct peer assessments that provide scientific and technical advice, the committee may offer programmatic advice when it follows naturally from technical considerations or is requested by the NASA Associate Administrator for Aerospace Technology.
From page 117...
... Is the program using high-quality research performers or is there untapped talent outside the program that can be brought to bear? Is there evidence that the research plan for the area under review reflects a broad understanding of the underlying science and technology and of comparable work within other NASA units as well as industry, academia, and other federal laboratories?
From page 118...
... Are the capabilities, quantity, and state of readiness of equipment and facilities sufficient to achieve program goals? Are personnel, equipment, and facilities supplied by support contractors used efficiently; do they fill gaps in government capabilities without duplication?
