This website has been set up to help NASA employees and parties under NASA funding agreements (i.e., contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, and subcontractors there under) to report new technology information directly, via a secure Internet connection, to NASA.

New Technologies are defined as any invention, discovery, improvement, or innovation whether or not patentable, either conceived or first actually reduced to practice in performance of NASA work. This includes, but is not limited to, new processes, machines, manufactures, and compositions of matter, and improvements to, or new applications of, existing processes, machines, manufactures, and compositions of matter. New Technologies also include new computer programs, and improvements to, or new applications of, existing computer programs.

For detailed information on the process, review the information located at these links:

The technology reporting requirements in NASA funding agreements require that funding recipients provide NASA:

Individual New Technology Reports (NTR)

- "New Technology Reports" Disclosure of each new technology (invention and innovation) made under the funding agreement within two months after the innovator discloses the new technology to the funding recipient's personnel responsible for invention/patent matters (Company New Technology Representative). NASA prefers that contractors/grantees/recipients use the NASA NTR form (NF 1679), byway of NASA eNTRe, PDF, or Word to report new technologies.

Additionally, NASA funding agreements with small businesses, colleges, universities, and nonprofit organizations require each funding recipient to elect in writing whether or not to retain title to any new technology (subject invention) within 2 years of its disclosure to NASA. You may use the "NASA Election Form" to make an election.

New Technology Summary Reports (NTSR)

- " New Technology Summary Report (Interim)"
every 12 months from the date of the contract listing all new technologies (inventions and innovations) developed during the reporting period, or certifying that there were none; and

- A " New Technology Summary Report (Final)"
prior to contract closeout listing all new technologies (inventions and innovations) developed during performance of the contract, or certifying that there were none.

NASA prefers that contractors/grantees/recipients use the NASA NTSR form, byway of NASA eNTRe, PDF or Word when submitting these NTSRs.

Civil Servants Only:
NASA Form 433, Invention Evaluation Questionnaire
A Civil Servant Inventor's supervisor completes Form 433. Your supervisor can delegate the evaluation to any federal employee who is technically knowledgeable in the field of invention. PDF or IFM
