About this program
The Planetary Society’s Gene Shoemaker Near-Earth Object Grants support amateur and professional astronomers conducting observations to discover, track, and characterize near-Earth objects. Funded activities help improve asteroid orbit determinations, physical characterization, and planetary-defense preparedness. Applicants should be capable of undertaking NEO observation work and submitting results to the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center; the program is intended for advanced amateur and professional asteroid observers. The 2025 winners have been announced, and applicants should consult the program’s Request for Proposals for current eligibility and submission requirements.
