Reimbursable
This is an agreement for the reimbursable use of NASA
facilities, personnel or equipment by a public or private entity
wanting to advance R&D efforts. The agreement involves a
transfer of funds or other financial obligations from the
private entity to NASA. The terms, conditions and schedules are
negotiable, but NASA must be paid in advance for each stage of
the effort. No goods or services are provided to NASA. Instead,
NASA provides data, facilities and services to the paying
entity.
