Non-NOAO (External) Inquiries:
NOCL does not normally take on contract or external work. All work of this
nature is evaluated by these conditions and must be approved by the
Director.
- Non-Deviation:
External work
must fit within the greater mission
of NOAO.
- Non-Competition:
NOAO does
not compete with the private sector. External work must utilize unique
capabilities.
- Non-Interference:
Production
of external work will not interfere with the primary mission of NOCL.

Association of
Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA), Inc.
under cooperative agreement with the
National Science Foundation.
