Over the past seven years, NASA's space science program has implemented what may well be the largest single program in astronomy and space science education ever undertaken. An important part of the overall program have been the small grants programs for education and public outreach (E/PO). These offer a way for many scientists not directly involved in major space science missions to contribute to education and public outreach efforts. This paper provides an overview of the small E/PO grants programs associated with the Guest Observer programs for the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope, the Initiative to Develop Education through Astronomy and Space Science (IDEAS) program and the Research Opportunities in Space Science (ROSS) program. Characteristics of successful proposals are discussed along with representative examples of scientist participation in current projects in the areas of formal education, museum exhibits, planetarium show, and public outreach programs.
