The Explanatory Guide to the NASA OSS E/PO Evaluation Criteria is a comprehensve resource for scientists preparing E/PO segments to their OSS proposals.

Section 1: Evaluation Criteria for the E/PO segments of R&D proposals:
There are two classes of Evaluation Criteria used to guide investigators in aligning their proposed efforts with the goals and objectives of the OSS E/PO strategy and implementation plans. These criteria also serve as the basis for judging the quality of proposed E/PO segments. This Explanatory Guide describes in detail what this criteria mean in practice and includes "Indicators" that may be used by both proposers and reviewers to assess how well an E/PO proposal segment is meeting the Evaluation Criteria.

Section 2: Frequently Asked Questions
The next segment of the Guide addresses answers to questions frequently asked (FAQ) by members of the space science community who are preparing an E/PO segment to an OSS proposal. These answers have been revised to address current policy and offer information in support of proposal preparation and understanding the intention of the Evaluation Criteria.
