JOVE PROGRAM GOALS

Primary Goal

Build research capabilities and broaden direct participation in space science and technology by establishing Joint Venture partnerships between NASA and institutions of higher education which have had little or no involvement in the Nation's space program.

Secondary Goals

Bring university talent to bear in analyzing the enormous wealth of data associated with NASA missions by motivating and assisting researchers in non-traditional research institutions.

Invigorate math, science, and engineering education so as to influence career choices by integrating aerospace topics into curricula, by merging research and teaching, and by providing both opportunities and incentives to students.

Reach out to pre-college teachers and students, and to the broader community, using the space program to stimulate the imagination and to elevate public science literacy.
