Jake,
I just filled this out and am VERY interested in your findings. As an institution that is heavily invested in statewide outreach (~$500k annually) I, too, am regularly looking at how to investigate impacts in meaningful ways.
Warm regards,

Hello everyone,
We at Bowling Green State University in northwest Ohio are developing a research project investigating the impacts that science outreach (traveling) programs have on teachers and students. Our goal is to generate evidence that convinces teachers and school administrators to use science centers, zoos, and museums not just for field trips, but for classroom science curricula as well. Hopefully, this evidence will generate more business for informal science institutions and allow them to extend their reach in their respective communities.
In order to create a research project based on a national perspective, we would like to know about the current practices and perceived needs of informal science institutions regarding outreach services. Therefore, we need your help! If you represent a science center, museum, zoo, aquarium, park, or any other informal education institution that offers science education programs, please take a short survey about your institution's services. The survey can be completed in five to ten minutes, and your effort will be greatly appreciated. We feel that the results of this survey will tremendously improve our research project. So, please take some time to help us demonstrate how important science outreach programs are to the teachers and students in our communities!
Here is the link to the survey:

Please contact me with any questions or comments regarding the survey. Thank you in advance for your help!
Warmest regards,
