NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI)

Handbook for NAI Teams

The Handbook for NAI Teams is maintained by NAI Central as a resource for its teams and team members, particularly those who are just joining the Institute and are seeking information about how the NAI operates. The Handbook includes information on the organization of the NAI, how membership is defined (and associated expectations), the Annual Report process, funding information, the virtual institute and collaborative tools, and the NAI's Education and Outreach program.

A list of the NAI Central staff is in the NAI Organization and Membership section, and includes contact information and a brief description of each staff member's responsibilities.
