The original tenets have not changed; however, the application of open government principles — participation, transparency, and openness — are applied according to priorities of agency leadership.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNASA Organizational Structure\u003c/strong\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"image\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg\n    src=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/digitalgov/_legacy-img/2016/09/600-x-446-NASA%5c_org%5c_chart_2015.jpg\"\n    alt=\" NASA Organizational Structure\"/\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCross-cutting Objectives:\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first two Open Gov Plans cite the following five cross-cutting objectives, which still apply:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncrease Agency transparency and accountability to external stakeholders,\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnable citizen participation in NASA missions (prizes and challenges, citizen science),\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove internal NASA collaboration and innovation,\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourage partnerships that can create economic opportunity, and\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstitutionalize Open Gov philosophies and practices at NASA.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"whats-new\"\u003eWhat’s New\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the last Open Gov Plan in 2014, we’ve made significant progress enriching and enhancing the foundations laid by previous Plans. Though some of these activities listed in this section are not new, we’ve added new capabilities and capacities to continue this good work, as we move forward into the next two years. Here is a top-level look at projects we love. And by the participant response we’ve seen so far, you love them too.

To address this, we collected all the activities from previous Plans. When we publish the plan, these two sections will be organized in a matrix format for easy reference, with an update on progress, and whether or not the activity is complete, closed out, or ongoing. At this point, we’ve listed them with the year we introduced them into our Open Gov Plans.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical and Ongoing Activities included in previous Open Gov Plans\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom of Information Act: 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCongressional requests: 2010, 2012, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeclassification: 2010, 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecords Management: 2010, 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcurement: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb Initiatives: 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 (Flagship in 2012)\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNASA TV: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation Activities: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace Communication and Navigation: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentennial Challenges: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace Act agreements: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTech Transfer: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngineering Network and NASA Technical Report Server: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNASA and Data.gov: 2010, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinancial Transparency: 2010, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess and Utilization of NASA Science Data: 2010, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffice of the Chief Information Officer: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Innovation Projects: 2010, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Data: 2012, 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Source Software: 2012, 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology Accelerators: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrizes and Challenges: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCitizen Science: 2012, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducational Infrastructure: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZero Robotics: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIT Labs: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhoneSat: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCenter of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation: 2012, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific and Technical Information: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollaborative Spaces: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Government Directory: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollaborative Code Repository: 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital Strategy: 2014\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProactive Disclosures: 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic Notice: 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrivacy: 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhistleblower Protection: 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlagship Initiatives: Historical Plan Matrix\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Source Software Development: 2010, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNO LONGER ACTIVE – Nebula: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticipatory Exploration Office: 2010\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNASA Web Environment: 2012, 2014, 2016\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate Data Initiative: 2012\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNASA Information Architecture and Management: 2014\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAsteroid Grand Challenge: 2014\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe NASA will continue to lead federal agencies as we experiment with and create innovative frameworks for citizen participation in our journey to explore the universe of knowledge about our existence in the universe.
