2. Provide an opportunity for participants to give feedback on the draft CIF
solicitation prior to final release;
3. Explore potential teaming opportunities within the extended community,
particularly with other NASA Centers;
4. Early vetting of potential CIF concepts; and
5. Understand existing and identify additional follow-on funding
opportunities for CIF-funded projects that provide a strategic pathway for
Ames-developed technologies.
