NAAS is one of the first systems to be developed and implemented under the Human Capital Information Environment (HCIE), and will help us comply with the e-Gov initiative and the President’s Management Agenda.  NAAS is used for all NASA Honor Awards, performance awards, and other incentive awards.  

Key features and benefits of NAAS include the following:

• a standard process across the agency for nomination, approval and processing of awards
• easy, web based access for making awards nominations
• ability to review status of award nominations
• protection of confidential employee data
• streamlined and standardized awards processes across the agency
• user’s guide and user training
  
  

The NAAS has been developed with the extensive involvement of an Automated Awards Team comprised of Awards Officers from each Center.  The team has helped ensure that NAAS maximizes the efficiencies of automation while preserving the traditional awards and award ceremonies that are unique to each Center.  

Awards will be among the first HR processes to be administered by the new NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) located at Stennis Space Center.  NSSC is an independent organization that will perform a variety of transactions and administrative activities currently being done at each Center.
