New Technology Reports (NTRs) Provide Benchmark for Gauging Success

NTRs capture information about technical discoveries, improvements, innovations, and inventions so that NASA can disseminate these technologies appropriately under its mandated technology-transfer program. Since many of these NTRs result from IRAD- or CIF-funded efforts, they also gauge the success of our Research and Development programs.

By the close of FY22, Goddard technologists filed 189 reports, with a strong showing by collaborators in small business and educational institutions. Of all NASA’s field centers, Goddard came in second in the number of NTRs submitted by small business partners, who submitted 105 NTRs, and third in the number submitted by colleges and universities, with 22 reports.
