Mission Equity: Making NASA Accessible to All
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson and other agency officials and guests discuss the recently issued request for information (RFI). The RFI is part of NASA’s Mission Equity, a comprehensive effort to assess agency programs, procurements, grants, and policies, and examine what potential barriers and challenges may exist for communities that are historically underrepresented and underserved.
The information submitted in response to the RFI will help foster NASA’s vision to benefit the quality of life for all on Earth; NASA’s mission to explore, use and enable the development of space for human enterprise through research, development and transfer of advanced aeronautics, space and related technologies, economic growth and security, and educational excellence; and NASA’s goal to enrich our nation’s society and economy with a fair and equitable approach.
Five specific avenues of participation and partnership with the agency include:
