Program Management
The STI Program Office (STIPO) is funded by the NASA Chief Information Officer (CIO) in Washington, DC. The NASA CIO establishes strategic policy and operational measurements for STIPO, which is located at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. In turn, STIPO oversees the NASA Center for AeroSpace Information (CASI), a contractor-operated facility that collects the NASA STI, organizes it into a large database, ensures that it is preserved via the National Archives and Records Administration, and releases the STI or has the STI released through various methods, such as science.gov and USA.gov. The STI Program participates in the collaborative Open Government Initiative and is a member of CENDI, which is a partnership of Federal STI managers.
The STI Program is a critical component in the worldwide activity of scientific and technical aerospace research and development. STIPO's charter exists so that NASA STI is promptly and widely released and available, and can be leveraged by NASA, U.S. businesses, government, the public and international entities. This allows NASA to comply with e-Government regulations.

Famous quotes containing the words program and/or management:
“The present century has not dealt kindly with the farmer. His legends are all but obsolete, and his beliefs have been pared away by the professors at colleges of agriculture. Even the farm- bred bards who twang guitars before radio microphones prefer “I’m Headin’ for the Last Roundup” to “Turkey in the Straw” or “Father Put the Cows Away.””
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The management of fertility is one of the most important functions of adulthood.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
