The Killer Asteroids Project

This work was funded through a combination of grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA. NSF's funding came through two grants: a "Communicating Research To Public Audiences" (CRPA) grant, and the Asteroids! exhibit grant (a.k.a. Great Balls of Fire).

NASA support came through a Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Education and Public Outreach in Earth and Space Science (EPOESS) grant, Finding NEO.
