The very first requirement listed in the grant application is that NASA must be listed as one of the team sponsors, but other sponsors can be listed before or after NASA, as appropriate (as determined by the team). We believe that it is appropriate to list NASA as one of the team sponsors, since the awarded teams are receiving $6000 from NASA, but we also recognize that teams will have additional sponsors that may be contributing more funds or support to the teams (in fact, one of the purposes of the grants is to help rookie teams get "breathing room" to allow them to bring in long-term sponsorship while they are building their first robots). If the team determines that it is appropriate to list other organizations with "top billing" based on their support, that is fine with us.
We just want to be clear about what is, and is not, expected by the teams that are receiving NASA funds. There is at least one case in past years where a team turned down a grant award because they did not completely read the grant application forms and had the same misunderstanding noted about about how the NASA sponsorship should be recognized.
If your team has received a NASA grant, and been told anything different than this, your source of information is incorrect.

I want to apologize to Dave and to NASA for my loose wording of my earlier post.
However, when FIRST enters the information in TIMS for NASA sponsorship, it puts the NASA center first. This is a FIRST thing, not a NASA thing.
