About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $12.39M cooperative agreement to For Inspiration And Recognition Of Science And Technology (FIRST), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the FIRST Robotics Outreach Competition IV (ROC-IV) program. This renewal grant extends through December 19, 2029, and supports FIRST's mission to inspire and motivate students to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines through mentor-based educational programs and competitive robotics experiences. The award was made without set-aside designation, indicating open competition, and represents NASA's continued investment in expanding access to proven STEM education initiatives that serve K-12 students across the nation.
The ROC-IV program leverages FIRST's established track record of measurable impact in STEM education—program participants are 2.3 times more likely to express interest in STEM fields, and 81% pursue STEM majors in higher education. FIRST maintains an active federal contracting and grant portfolio across multiple agencies, including the Department of the Army, Navy, and Naval Sea Systems Command, positioning the organization as a key federal partner in workforce development. The cooperative agreement structure enables ongoing collaboration with NASA in advancing STEM education objectives while maintaining flexibility to adapt programming to evolving student and educational needs through 2029.
