Re: NASA Grant news?

Congrats to the teams who made the list, and a big Thank You to NASA.

I counted 49 veteran sustaining grants. (About 73 total veteran grants if we include the regional challenge grant initiatives.) Last year there were about 120 veteran grants listed. What's the difference this year I wonder?

a. NASA had less funds to distribute.
b. Less teams applied or demonstrated a significant need.
c. A change in format in how NASA communicates grant winners.
d. A bigger rookie need limited the veteran opportunities.
e. Previously funded teams moved to NASA House Team status.

I know we fit into case e. I'm not sure if there is a current list of NASA House Teams anywhere. Thanks again Marshall Space Flight Center.

Your NASA contact should be able to tell you this.

Re: NASA Grant news?

I want to say congrats to everyone who won the grant, and a big thank you to NASA.

Also, if 122 and 1086 are reading this, you may be getting a call in the next two weeks to see if you want to work on a cohesive rookie outreach plan for the event from the guys from Virginia. As the PR guy, I'm trying to secure funding now so there's a team left to build a robot and help others compete later. At last check, there will be 16 rookies at a 50-52 team event. That's nuts.
