NASA Joint Sponsored Research Program
Summary
The Joint Sponsored Research Program (JSRP) was a NASA initiative aimed at launching a pilot program to co-fund technology research and development with private sector partners. Its objectives included advancing NASA’s mission, accelerating technological innovation, strengthening U.S. leadership in technology, promoting economic growth, and supporting job creation. [1][2][3]
The program, initiated by NASA Ames Research Center, was established to develop business models and legal frameworks for cost-sharing public–private partnerships. Its goals included reducing costs, enhancing technology transfer, and accelerating supply chain development. [4] Launched in 1989, the program completed 17 pilot partnerships by 1995, resulting in $41.7 million in cost savings. It also produced policy and implementation guidance before concluding in 1996. [5] Agreements initiated under the program continued through 2005. [6]
