📄RFP at a glance?

NASA's Science Mission Directorate seeks a contractor to design and deliver two virtual, synchronous leadership courses (20 hours each, 40 hours total) for scientists: "Leading in the Global Technical and Scientific Communities" and "Leading for Technical and Scientific Innovation." Courses are part of the NASA LEADS program and must accommodate approximately 30 participants across U.S. time zones.

Key requirements

Design and deliver two 20-hour virtual, synchronous courses over 4-5 days each (total 40 contact hours) with PhD-level instructors holding doctoral expertise in relevant fields (Business Administration, Sociology, STS, or allied fields)
Prior experience teaching global leadership or innovation courses for scientists; experience with NASA scientists strongly preferred
Instructors and developers must have JD or PhD plus five years directly related experience (high-level federal government employment, university-level teaching, or relevant research/publication history); general leadership education insufficient
Provide course materials, instructor guides, agendas, and technical coordination using MS Teams for virtual environment management
Deliver comprehensive program evaluation and present results within 45 days of course completion
Coordinate with potential NASA co-instructor; schedule courses between 12:00 pm–5:00 pm ET to accommodate all U.S. time zones with 30-minute lunch and two 10-minute breaks

Eligibility

Instructors and developers must hold JD or PhD in Business Administration, Sociology, Science Technology and Society (STS), or closely allied fields
Minimum five years directly related experience required (high-level federal government employment, university faculty-level teaching, or research/publication history in relevant subject matter)
Experience with NASA scientists strongly preferred
Doctoral-level expert knowledge required for each course (global strategic management and federal government strategy for Course 1; technical innovation management and change management for Course 2)

⚠ Watch-outs

Strict doctoral-level education requirement with high-level federal employment background; general leadership or communications education explicitly insufficient for selection
Requirement that all materials be hosted on NASA servers with copyright authorization granted to Agency users
Synchronous delivery across 4-5 days with fixed time window (12:00 pm–5:00 pm ET) limits scheduling flexibility
Evaluation criteria and proposal submission instructions not provided in source document
