Description

NIAC Phase I solicits proposals for studying visionary, yet credible, advanced concepts in the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program. NIAC’s goal is to “Change the Possible” in aerospace and aeronautics missions. The NIAC Program supports innovative research through multiple Phases of awards. This Appendix focuses only on Phase I proposal requirements and award information. Proposers are advised that changes to this Appendix have been incorporated to clarify evaluation criteria and required proposal content. In addition, prospective proposers should review previously funded NIAC studies to ensure planned submissions are not duplicative of previously funded work.
