Sciences and Exploration Directorate - NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center

SED Resources Support

The Sciences and Exploration Directorate receives its resources support from the Sciences and Exploration Business Branch (Code 157.1), located within the Office of the Chief Financial Officer. Code 157.1 provides support to the Directorate's Divisions and Offices to plan and execute their budgets in accordance with Agency and Center policies and procedures. The Branch provides monitoring, analysis, and reporting across the full breadth of the Directorate's financial and workforce resources. The Branch trains and manages the co-located Resources Analysts who work within the various Offices and Divisions to implement effective and efficient use of resources. It also provides proposal support to NASA research announcements and business support to procurement efforts.

Financial Managers

The Financial Managers lead co-located teams of resources analysts who support laboratories, offices, and divisions across the Sciences and Exploration Directorate. They provide business support ranging from day-to-day budget execution, workforce planning, budget development, and proposal submissions. They also provide advice and guidance to senior managers on all aspects of resources management.
