Agency Grand Challenges
• A large-scale effort that requires activities and
contributions beyond NASA’s scope--this is a
new way of doing business at NASA
• Serve as a “North Star” for high-impact, multi-
disciplinary collaborations and public-private
partnerships
• Leverages a variety of sources of partnership
and outside collaboration (interagency,
international, industry, academia, NGOs, citizens,
particularly non-traditional partners)
