GST has built a solid record in the efficient management of solicitations, research opportunities, and cooperative research agreements supporting Government agencies' grants solicitation, peer review, selection, and award processes. Under a $140M contract, we currently provide end-to-end support for the NASA Headquarters peer-review process, including science administration, logistics, and database management. We also support drafting, review, and logistics support of technology solicitations for the NASA Earth-Sun System Technology Office.

Grants Process Management / Peer Review

• Preparation and handling of pre-solicitation and solicitation documents.
• Electronic receipt and processing of proposals.
• Peer-review and evaluation logistics and support.
• Post-award selection announcements and news releases.
• Solicitation outreach and communication programs.

Grants Process Management/Peer Review

As an active participant and contributor to numerous Government research projects, GST is positioned to leverage NASA-based research and development in the marketplace. Our goal is to produce value-added technology and intellectual property that will strengthen our corporate position and to demonstrate the appropriate, effective use of the technology commercialization process. Some of these projects include:

Interoperability Standards and Protocols

• Geospatial Interoperability Group (GIG): Provides OGC/FGDC Standards training, consulting, and implementation.
  
  
• SkipWare®: an implementation of CCSDS standards-based wireless IP protocol enhancements.

 

• Direct Readout Ground Systems, Data Processing and Analysis
• DirectMet®: A GOES/GMS satellite ground system and weather analysis workstation.
  
  
• RODIN: A web-based, customizable, intelligent data archival and processing system.
