As the solicitation notes, NASA is interested in involving non-Federal domestic organizations in contributing to and achieving progress on the GEO Work Programme, GEO WP.

These nine are elements in which USA/NASA has some lead role or significant involvement. The text of the solicitation also encourages projects to consider uses of Earth obs for appropriate UN Sustainable Development Goals related to the WP element.
