Purposes The purposes of this chapter are to— (1) increase the understanding, assessment, development, and utilization of space re- sources by promoting a strong educational base, responsive research and training activi- ties, and broad and prompt dissemination of knowledge and techniques; (2) utilize the abilities and talents of the universities of the Nation to support and con- tribute to the exploration and development of the resources and opportunities afforded by the space environment; (3) encourage and support, within the univer- sity community of the Nation, the existence of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary pro- grams of space research that— (A) engage in integrated activities of training, research, and public service; (B) have cooperative programs with indus- try; and (C) are coordinated with the overall pro- gram of the Administration; (4) encourage and support the existence of consortia, made up of university and industry members, in order to advance the exploration and development of space resources in cases in which national objectives can be better ful- filled through such consortia than through the programs of single universities; (5) encourage and support Federal funding for graduate fellowships in fields related to space; and
