2006 NASA Grant Application now on line

[dlavery]

The online application for 2006 NASA grants is now available at http://robots.larc.nasa.gov/. All necessary links are available from this URL and complete instructions are provided. This application is only for NASA sponsorship of a team. You must also register with FIRST to actually attend one or more competition events.

We received over 300 pre-registrations for the application. E-mails went out earlier today to notify all the pre-registrants of the availability of the application. If you did not pre-register, you may still register for the application on the referenced web site.

If you are considering applying for a grant, please READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. Incomplete, ineligible or mis-registered applications will not be considered for award.

I for one, am psyched! There's a grant for those not attending a NASA regional! That was the killer for us last year. I just pre-registered us. Very cool Dave, very cool.

The NASA Robotics Alliance Team has done a wonderful job at explaining the different grants available, eligibility, the rational, and the steps needed. I would recommend that every team read this document over.

Hang on to this information as it will also be needed by FIRST for the Year book page and will be needed for many other types of grant applications.
