2010 NASA team grants announced

[dlavery]

The NASA Robotics Alliance Project is pleased to announce the FIRST Robotics Competition participation grants for 2010. Listed below are the "Regional Challenge Grant", "Program Growth Grant" and "Sustaining Grants" applications that have been selected for award. Receipt of a NASA Robotics Alliance Project grant award is contingent upon a team being registered with FIRST and confirmed at the specific event for which the sponsorship applies. Regional Challenge Grants are NOT transferable to other teams or other events. Program Growth Grants may be used for any regional competition event, but they are not transferable to other teams. As indicated in the grant application, awarded funds will not be sent directly from NASA to the winning teams. The awarded funds will be transferred to FIRST on behalf of the awarded team, and used to fund the registration fees for the associated regional competition event.

The announcement of the 2010 NASA team grants has been released. You can see the list of grant awards here.

Congratulations to all the teams that were selected for a grant award. NASA received a significant increase in the number of grant applications this year, and the selection process was particularly difficult. Unfortunately, we were limited in the number of grants that we could support by available funds, and could not award a grant to every team that applied. Believe me - if we were able, we would have gladly supported many, many more of the outstanding applications. For those that do receive a grant award, we trust that you will enjoy and get the most out of your FRC experience this upcoming year.
