National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
(Redirected from Space grant colleges)
The space-grant colleges are institutions that are members of a network of 52 consortia formed for the purpose of outer space-related research.[1] Each consortium is based in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or Puerto Rico, and each consists of multiple independent space-grant institutions, with one of the institutions acting as the lead.
The U.S. Congress established the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program in 1988. NASA administers the program, and first took that role in 1989.
Space grant colleges are not to be confused with land-grant colleges (a program instituted in 1862), sea-grant colleges (instituted in 1966), or sun-grant colleges (instituted in 2003).
Objectives
The program claims the following objectives:[2]
- Establish and maintain a national network of universities with interests and capabilities in aeronautics, outer space, and related fields;
- Encourage cooperative programs among universities, the aerospace industry, and federal, state, and local governments;
- Encourage interdisciplinary training, research, and public service programs related to aerospace;
- Recruit and train U.S. citizens, especially women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities, for careers in aerospace science and technology; and,
- Promote a strong science, mathematics, and technology education base from elementary through secondary levels.

As of 2002, there are over 850 participating institutions.[3]
