Office of International and Interagency Relations

The Office of International and Interagency Relations (OIIR) is a government office within NASA, the United States space agency, established as part of NASA's administrative structure with no specific founding year publicly detailed in available records. Based in the United States, OIIR serves as a government entity focused on executive leadership and coordination for all NASA international engagements and interagency collaborations. Key activities include fostering partnerships with foreign governments, organizations, and U.S. interagency bodies to advance space exploration, science, and technology goals. In the context of UAP/UFO research, OIIR supports NASA's involvement in government-wide efforts, such as coordinating with the DoD's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and contributing to UAP studies through data sharing and environmental analysis using NASA satellites. Notable achievements encompass facilitating NASA's 2023 UAP independent study team, led by figures like David Spergel, which recommended standardized reporting and high-quality data collection for aerial phenomena. Currently, OIIR remains active, enabling NASA's ongoing role in interagency UAP initiatives amid rising reports of unexplained sightings.
