The NASGRO Consortium is a group of companies that provide sustaining guidance and support for NASGRO development. Consortium participants identify and prioritize desired new NASGRO capabilities while providing a stable revenue stream to accelerate NASGRO enhancements.
The Consortium is organized in three-year cycles. Participating companies make a three-year financial commitment with the option to renew at the end of each cycle. The first NASGRO Consortium cycle began in 2001, and the ninth cycle (2025-2028) will begin soon. New participants will be accepted for this new cycle through early 2026. Companies can participate at a single geographical site, two sites, or an unlimited number of sites (with a substantial discount on participation fees).
A prospectus for new participants in the Cycle 9 NASGRO Consortium can be downloaded here.
A list of the Cycle 8 Consortium participants (2022-2025) is provided here.
