Science and Technical Merit. (50%): This criterion addresses the scientific and technical merit of the proposed research program, including innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to fulfill the research objectives. This criterion also includes appropriate scientific breadth of the research, quality of scientific staff, and the management approach proposed for the productive coordination of the various elements. In addition, this criterion will include the likelihood that the period of performance is adequate, and will include an assessment of cost – whether it is realistic and reasonable, both in the context of the proposed scope of work and compared to the funds available through this CAN. Because this is the first CAN for selection of NLSI Teams, it is not appropriate to restrict the subject matter of the proposed research unduly. It is expected that the selected research programs will themselves help to define the overall content and direction of future NLSI research. However, the following broad research questions should be used as guidelines in defining the scientific content of the proposed work, related to science of the Moon, on the Moon, and from the Moon: • How did the Moon form and how did its interior structure arise? • How has the impact history of the Earth-Moon system been recorded on the lunar surface? This topic can include evaluation of the population of impactors over time. • How have volcanic processes on the Moon been initiated over lunar history and how do the volcanic flows reflect the interior composition? • How have solar processes and space weather altered the lunar surface over time and been recorded in the lunar regolith? • How will the lunar environment (e.g., gravity, dust, radiation, plasma, etc.) affect surface operations and influence designs for living on the Moon? • What are the environmental conditions and the volatile content of the lunar poles? • How will increased human activities alter the lunar environment? • How can life from Earth adapt to long stays on the Moon? • How can the Moon be used as a platform to advance important science goals in astronomy, Earth observation, and the physical and life sciences?

  • Research, Science and Technology Cooperation 1. The aims of cooperation in research, science and technology, carried out in the mutual interest of the Parties and in compliance with their policies, will be: (a) to build on existing agreements already in place for cooperation on research, science and technology; (b) to encourage, where appropriate, government agencies, research institutions, universities, private companies and other research organizations in the Parties to conclude direct arrangements in support of cooperative activities, programs or projects within the framework of this Agreement, specially related to trade and commerce; and (c) to focus cooperative activities towards sectors where mutual and complementary interests exist, with special emphasis on information and communication technologies and software development to facilitate trade between the Parties. 2. The Parties will encourage and facilitate, as appropriate, the following activities including, but not limited to:

  • Management of Special and Technical Environment Each certificated support person demonstrates an acceptable level of performance in managing and organizing the special materials, equipment and environment essential to the specialized programs.

  • Information and Technical Advice At the request of a Party, or upon its own initiative, the arbitration panel may obtain information from any source, including the Parties involved in the dispute, which it deems appropriate for the arbitration procedure. The arbitration panel also has the right to seek the opinion of experts as it deems appropriate. Any information obtained in this manner must be disclosed to each of the Parties and submitted for their comments. Interested parties are authorised to submit amicus curiae briefs to the arbitration panel in accordance with the rules of procedure.

  • Technology Discoveries, innovations, Know-How and inventions, whether patentable or not, including computer software, recognized under U.S. law as intellectual creations to which rights of ownership accrue, including, but not limited to, patents, trade secrets, maskworks and copyrights developed under this Agreement.

  • New Technology When new or updated technology is introduced into a workplace, it will be the responsibility of the employer to provide appropriate and, if necessary, ongoing training to the employees directly affected. Such training will include any health and safety implications or information that will enable employees to operate the equipment without discomfort and will help maintain their general well-being.

  • Technical Feasibility of String While ICANN has encouraged and will continue to encourage universal acceptance of all top-­‐level domain strings across the Internet, certain top-­‐level domain strings may encounter difficulty in acceptance by ISPs and webhosters and/or validation by web applications. Registry Operator shall be responsible for ensuring to its satisfaction the technical feasibility of the TLD string prior to entering into this Agreement.

  • Technology Access A. Contractor expressly acknowledges that state funds may not be expended in connection with the purchase of an automated information system unless that system meets certain statutory requirements relating to accessibility by persons with visual impairments. Accordingly, Contractor represents and warrants to System Agency that the technology provided to System Agency for purchase (if applicable under this Contract or any related Solicitation) is capable, either by virtue of features included within the technology or because it is readily adaptable by use with other technology, of:

  • EXECUTION OF WORKS 40.1 The work execution will be carried out based on the documents as listed below.

  • Joint Network Implementation and Grooming Process Upon request of either Party, the Parties shall jointly develop an implementation and grooming process (the “Joint Grooming Process” or “Joint Process”) which may define and detail, inter alia:
