Recognizing that radio observations using the NRAO facilities will be important to the scientific exploration by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, up to 10% of the total observing time on each NRAO telescope was made available for joint observing. Fermi Cycle 1 observing began in 2008 August. The following joint Fermi/NRAO proposals were approved for Cycle 1:
- Fiona Harrison, Caltech, GRB Energetics in the GLAST Era, 135 VLA hours
- Svetlana Jorstad, Boston University, High Resolution Mapping of the Gamma-ray Emission Regions in Blazar Jets, 64 VLBA hours, 6 VLA hours
- Alan Marscher, Boston University, Comprehensive Multiwaveband Monitoring Program of Gamma-ray Bright Blazars, 192 VLBA hours
- Ginny McSwain, Lehigh University, A Multi-wavelength Study of the Gamma-Ray Binary LS5039, 6.5 GBT Hours
- Eran Ofek, Caltech, GLAST/GBM as Extragalactic SGRS Discovery Machine, 5 VLA hours
- Paul Ray, Naval Research Laboratory, Multiwavelength Study of LS I +61 303, 12 VLA hours, 9 GBT hours
- Olaf Reimer, Standford University, Radio- and VHE-Gamma-ray TOO-Observations of GLAST-Triggered Bright Transients in the Galactic Plane, 54 VLBA hours, 18 VLA hours
- John Tomsick, University of California - Berkeley, Probing the High Energy Emission of Microquasars with Multiwavelength Observations, 73 GBT Hours
