Strategic Integration
NASA’s Office of Technology, Policy, and Strategy is a merger of the Office of Strategic Engagements and Assessments and the Office of the Chief Technologist. The purpose of OTPS is to support NASA leadership in developing and guiding the agency’s activities across the six mission directorates. In addition, the group oversees activities related to the Technology Taxonomy and develops NASA’s Strategic Technology Investment Plan.
