The Enterprise recognizes the importance of academic relationships in both achieving the vision and mission of Aeronautics, as well as preparing the next generation of researchers and engineers for the challenges in aviation. The principles underlying university partnerships are:
To Partner in Intellectual Capital: All partnerships should be mutually supportive and highly interactive efforts where all the participants gain and share knowledge. NASA wants to engage the university community early in the development of ideas, concepts and systems, and continue dynamic interactions throughout their evolution.
To Maintain a Balanced Spectrum of Efforts: Projects aimed across a continuum of basic research to technology development to system applications will be needed to support NASA's future skill mix and life-long learning needs.
Strategically Managed, Sustained Relationships: A focus on mission-related, long-range relationships and collaborations is needed to leverage the use of the combined capabilities and facilities of academe and NASA.
Competitively Engage a Wide Array of Colleges and Universities: To reach beyond the traditional academic partnerships established by NASA, the Enterprise is re-examining its guidelines for participation. Equal consideration will be given to all colleges and universities, with peer participation in the selection and review of new and on-going activities.
