NASA had provided the Education Funding for Museums and Planetariums

NASA had announced a competitive funding opportunity for informal education that might result in the award of grants or cooperative agreements to ‘N’ number of the nation's science centers, museums and planetariums. The funds may approximately reach 6 million $ for new awards.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, which leads the Museum Alliance, will carry out an external peer review process for the proposals. Final award choice rests in Washington with the Office of Education at NASA Headquarters.

Proposals for the Competitive Program for Science Museums and Planetariums are expected to use NASA resources to improve the informal education programs related to space exploration, aeronautics, space science, Earth science or microgravity. Full proposals owe in 10th September, 2009.
