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.
