This records schedule is one of a series of schedules, approved by the Archivist of the United States, which furnishes authoritative instructions for the retention, destruction, or retirement of records held by NASA Centers or other offices. This schedule grants continuing authority for the disposition of records already accumulated or to be accumulated in the future.
The records described in Schedule 7 pertain to the management, planning, and administration of a Research & Development (R&D) program and to groups of projects and laboratory type organizations at Centers. Records in this category are created and accumulated by organizations that have overall management responsibility for programs or multiple-project activities. This schedule provides pertinent record categories and specifies the retention and dispositions for each.
Files relate to overall program administration and reflect planning, budgeting, scheduling, coordination, and management of the program. Files accumulated by offices of project managers who are responsible for the direct administration of the technical aspects of the program/system, should file these as part of the R&D Project Case File which is set forth in Schedule 8 - "Program Management." (SEE NOTE1)
The Program Office, normally at NASA Headquarters, is responsible for maintaining the administrative case file relating to a particular program/project, and for insuring the ongoing consolidation of essential documentation of the program. This activity includes records from time of inception, management of the program throughout its life, to program completion. Official records created during project/program management through to completion of the project are filed in the official R&D Project Case File located in Schedule 8.
NOTE1: PROJECT MANAGEMENT and PERFORMANCE RECORDS of an R&D Program are described in Schedule 8 which covers records created and accumulated by project organizations that have direct management control over in-house and/or contractor project activities. These files include individual basic research, applied research, and engineering development projects and as such are designated as either the project/program manager's files or the principal investigator's files and are considered a "PERMANENT" record series.
NOTE2: There are no General Records Schedules (GRS) that cover R&D records. Therefore, if a category or series of records is not listed in this Schedule or Schedule 8, disposition is not authorized. Contact your Center+s Records Manager or the Nasa Records Officer for instructions.
