DoD Sponsorship of FIRST

[ChuckDickerson]

After a lot of digging I was able to locate just what I was looking for. The National Defense Education Program (NDEP) provides grants to FIRST teams (FLL, FTC, and FRC) that are affiliated with DoD research laboratories. All the details are here: http://www.ndep.us/USFirst/

I believe this must have been what Paul Gudonis was referring to at Kickoff. These are the DoD labs that appear to currently participate in NDEP educational outreach: http://www.ndep.us/Labs.aspx

FRC team 456 applied for the NDEP grant funding and has been notified that we were awarded an NDEP grant for the 2010-2011 FRC season. I am also aware that FRC team 462 and FTC team 3486 have been awarded the NDEP grant as well.

Since I can’t seem to find a list of all the teams that have received the NDEP grant like NASA publishes for their grants, I am curious how many other teams applied and who got the grants?
