Complete newbie question regarding NASA grant

[Travis Hoffman]

Yes, the money goes directly to FIRST and will cover your initial event registration.

I believe the "NASA" sponsor tag will also automatically appear in your team name on TIMS. Have your team's Main Contact log in to TIMS and verify this. It may take a while for FIRST to update your team name with the NASA sponsorship. Ours has not been updated yet.

I received an email from FIRST today that NASA has already forwarded information to them and my registration for the NC region is marked as paid. I had already paid for one region and that amount was moved to pay my second region since NASA paid for the initial region which was NC. Also, NASA will appear as sponsor on your team name automatically. Be sure to do the other requirements for the grant such as the chairman's award and the surverys. Thanks, NASA

Thank you everyone! I had already gone in and changed our TIMS account to add in NASA; I guess I'll just have to see if it shows up again or corrected.

Dave - I'll be making a checklist and checking it twice. I really don't want to leave anything undone. Thank you for your patience.

Teams most often "forget" some things that are required after the season is over. Not completing these items may affect future grant applications. Be sure to include everything in you list.

This was a great question to ask, I am sure many others were wondering the same thing. On some veteran teams the students would not necessarily be privy to these sorts of details so you help them as well.
