Description

For 30 Years San Jose State University (Sjsu) Has Partnered with NASA Ames Research Center (Arc) on Collaborative Human Systems Integration Research (Hsir) That Has Made Air and Space Travel More Safe Efficient and Reliable. We Now Propose a Five-Year Research Plan to Build Upon Our Collaborative Work in the Human Systems Integration Division (Code Th) Other Arc Divisions and the US Military Under Cooperative Agreement NNX12AB08A. The Research We Propose Fulfills the Technical Areas Previously Identified in NASA Solicitation NNA11364623A That Remain Relevant to the Mission and Strategic Goals of NASA and Other Governmental Organizations (E.g. FAA US Army). These Areas Are: (1) Human-Automation Interaction (2) Human-Computer Interaction and (3) Individual- and Team-Performance Factors. This Proposal Will Also Expand Upon Previous Research by Incorporating New Emphases That Have Emerged Since Our Last Proposal. This Proposal Encompasses the Existing Sjsu/Arc Laboratory Organization and Technical Competencies Based on Our Knowledge of NASA S Processes Acquired During Our Long Partnership. We Anticipate Significant Benefits for NASA from Maintaining That Partnership Including: (1) an Existing Strong Research and Management Infrastructure That Will Remain On-Site Throughout the Award Period Providing Timely Agile and Adaptive Responses to Nasas Needs and Priorities; (2) Long-Term Continuity for Research Activities; (3) Shared Goals and Shared Institutional Knowledge; (4) Known and Respected Personnel Who Have Established Productive Working Relationships with NASA Scientists and Management; (5) Academic Student and Public Outreach Programs Created to Enhance NASA Projects Develop Relevant Workforce Skills and Meet NASA S Mission and Strategic Goals; (6) an Experienced Management Team with a Strong Focus on Sustained Collaboration; (7) a Supportive and Responsive Organization in the San Jose State University Research Foundation (Sjsurf); (8) Proven Successful Project Models; and (9) Resource Efficiencies Through Avoidance of a Time-Consuming and Costly Transition to Another Research Organization.
