Welcome to OPII

    Richard Keegan
    The Office of Program and Institutional Integration (OPII) is the executive office for both the NASA Deputy Administrator and the Associate Administrator. OPII integrates the decision-making processes and identifies and resolves issues that cross programmatic and/or institutional lines; advocates for Centers at Headquarters, while working for the best interest of the Agency; and, provides independent, "non-partisan" leadership and decision making for selected cross-cutting initiatives.

    NSPIRES  → Supporting research in science and technology is an important part of NASA's overall mission. NASA solicits this research through the release of various research announcements in a wide range of science and technology disciplines. NASA uses a peer review process to evaluate and select research proposals submitted in response to these research announcements. Researchers can help NASA achieve national research objectives by submitting research proposals and conducting awarded research. This site facilitates the publics search for NASA research opportunities; provides information about NASA research announcements, proposals selected, and results of NASA research as well as supports the peer review process and integrates with Grants.gov.
    NASA Management Office  → The NASA Management Office (NMO) is the NASA Headquarters on-site government organization serving the functions of contract management and programmatic and institutional implementation oversight at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) John Hopkins University.
