Principal Investigator Team Masters Forum 5

The NASA Academy of Program/Project & Engineering Leadership conducted its fifth Principal Investigator (PI) Team Masters Forum March 16, 2016, in Herndon, Virginia.

The forum, a collaborative effort among the Academy, NASAs Science Office for Mission Assessments, and NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD), brought together teams from the Discovery mission announcement of opportunity (AO) process to gain a better understanding of the role of a Principal Investigator (PI) at NASA. Master practitioners from past science missions shared stories, perspectives, lessons learned, and best practices with their colleagues.
