SURA has a strong history of leveraging its member universities as a model of scientific collaboration. SURA provides a deep bench of program management and operations expertise, as well as outreach and education activities designed to identify and develop scientists and students in active research projects, including those from traditionally underrepresented communities.

SURA is committed to nurturing and strengthening a diverse space science community by partnering with leading research institutions dedicated to advancing the strategic science goals of NASA and the space science community at large. SURA and our partner institutions provide realistic and feasible program management approaches meant to attract and retain world-class research scientists who will lead the way in engaging and mentoring gifted students and early-career scientists, engineers, and technologist.
