What is the NASA FTE Commitment that must be entered on the first phase RPS form?
We must report the number of NASA civil servant FTEs for which support is requested by all proposals that are submitted, whether or not the proposals are successful. Thus, if your project (if successful) will fund one tenth of a NASA civil servant’s position for one year, enter 0.1 in this field on the RPS form. Scientists who will be supported by this proposal but are not civil servants should not be included. The civil servant salaries that will be supported should be included in the total budget.
