Are proposals from NASA Centers subject to peer review, and are their budgets based on Full Cost Accounting?
All proposals submitted in response to an NRA are subjected to exactly the same peer review process regardless of the submitting organization, including NASA Centers. In the near future, NASA is expecting to be operating on the basis of full cost accounting, which will be applicable to all research proposals submitted by its Centers and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This new accounting practice is being implemented as rapidly as possible.
