At NASA, awards and recognition are given . . . for the right contribution . . . to the right people . . . in the right way.
NASA has a very active incentive awards program intended to give recognition and rewards to employees for their outstanding performance, achievement, innovation, and contribution to our core values and goals of the NASA Mission. In addition to recognizing its employees with the vast array of Agency and Center-level awards, NASA nominates its employees for many external awards sponsored by other Government agencies and private sector organizations. Moreover these awards are both monetary and non-monetary and are provided to individuals, teams and organizations.
Our awards vision statement (full text) serves as the common thread that ties all these award programs and services together. It sounds simple enough, but it requires something from everyone in our NASA Family to achieve it. This site is your first stop source for learning about our programs and having the basic tools for the proper execution of recognition and awards at NASA.
