Re: Thank you NASA!
And as was posted previously in some thread about grants (don't have time to find it right now) there was a clause in the application or description that essentially said
"in the event there aren't enough rookie or 2nd yr grant applicants, it's possible that a veteran team may receive one".... This is in addition to the veterans getting grants for attending a new regional.
People tend to think grants will only go to brand new teams, and that veterans shouldn't get it because they're "obviously" financially stable. But, I'm sure that the application reviewers know what they're doing. So long as you provide the required application information, it would seem you have a chance. I don't think veterans have been discouraged from applying. Worst you can hear is "no".
