Simple Effective Education and Dissemination (SEED) Grants For
Astronomy Researchers Available for 2009
from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific

Thanks to the support of the Planck and Herschel Missions, the Astronomical
Society of the Pacific is offering SEED Grants for 2009 to active
researchers in astronomy, astrophysics, or space science to engage in public
outreach, K-14 formal education, or informal education programs or activities.

Maximum grants are $2,500; funds may be used to purchase equipment related
to the proposed EPO activity, or to defray expenses associated with carrying out
the activity. Given the nature of the Planck and Herschel Missions, SEED Grant
proposals involving cosmology, galaxy studies, solar system investigations, and
space science will be given special consideration.

Proposal submission deadline is July 31, 2009, with announcement of
awards by September 15, 2009.
