NNSA Advisory Board

The NNSA Advisory Board serves as representative stakeholders in the Center for Hybrid Rocket Exascale Simulation Technology (CHREST). Advisors help identify collaborative opportunities with NNSA labs, assist in setting research goals and reaffirm project visions, provide input into the evaluation of the center, assess the progress and impact of the center, and conduct annual center reviews.

Alliance Strategy Team (AST)

The AST reports to the Director, Office of Advanced Simulation and Computing, who solicits advice from the ASC Executive Committee.  The key goal of all aspects of the PSAAP III management plan is to support the Centers and help them to be successful. All reviews, for example, will be conducted in that spirit. A key AST management tool is the yearly peer review it organizes for each Center. These reviews will be conducted by Review Teams (RTs) and will focus on the technical progress of the Centers towards meeting their goals and milestones.
