FOREWORD
As basic policy, NASA believes that colleges and universities should be encouraged to participate in the
nation's space and aeronautics program to the maximum extent practicable. Indeed, universities are con-
sidered as partners with government and industry in the nation's aerospace program. NASA's objective is
to have them bring their scientific, engineering, and social research competence to bear on aerospace
problems and on the broader social, economic, and international implications of NASA's technical and
scientific programs. It is expected that, in so doing, universities will strengthen both their research and their
educational capabilities to contribute more effectively to the national well-being.
NASA field centers and certain Headquarters program offices provide funds for those activities in universi-
ties which contribute to the mission needs of that particular NASA element. Although NASA has no prede-
termined amount of money to devote to university activities, the effort funded each year is substantial. (See
the bar chart on the next page). This annual report is one means of documenting the NASA-university
relationship, frequently denoted, collectively, as NASA's University Program.
This report is consistent with agency accounting records, as the data is obtained from NASA's Financial
and Contractual Status (FACS) System, operated by the Financial Management Division and the Procure-
ment Office. However, in accordance with interagency agreements, the orientation differs from that
required for financial or procurement purposes. Any apparent discrepancies between this report and other
NASA procurement or financial reports stem from the selection criteria for the data.*
This report was prepared by the Technology and Evaluation Branch/FET, Education Division, Office of
Human Resources and Education, using a management information system which was modernized during
FY 1993.
*Agreements which meet active criteria definition and have deobligations may result in agreements having
negative obligations in the body of this publication.
