CREWS: Crew Recommender for Effective Work in Space

Last Published: 03/26/21 03:34:00 PM (Central)

Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Contractor, Noshir

Short Title: Crew Recommender

Responsible HRP Element: Human Factors and Behavioral Performance

Collaborating Org(s):

Funding Status: Active - Currently funded and in progress

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:

The specific aims of this study are:

1. Identify the effects of team composition on team functioning in LDSE and the critical factors of team composition driving this effect.

2. Identify particular patterns of this effect with different team compositions.

3. Identify methods for composing teams for LDSE.

4. Develop a predictive team composition model for use in composing teams and identify potential issues with already composed teams.

5. Provide recommendations for composing teams for LDSE.

Category: Technology or Tool
Subcategory: Computational Models or Simulations

Description:
Develop an agent-based model of team composition for LDSE based on empirical data linking key model inputs (e.g., individual difference variables, network relational factors, task characteristics) to team functioning (e.g., social integration, team processes, team cohesion, team conflict) in LDSE-relevant contexts.

Category: Study Results
Subcategory: Customer Requested Study or Analysis

Description:
Final report on methods, best practices, technologies, and materials (e.g., selection & team composition recommendations, training) to improve team function and performance through the composition of the team. Also on the validation, reliability, and impact of the predictive team model as well as practical and research recommendations.

Risk of Performance and Behavioral Health Decrements Due to Inadequate Cooperation, Coordination, Communication, and Psychosocial Adaptation within a Team

Team-101: We need to understand the key threats, indicators, and evolution of the team throughout its life cycle for shifting autonomy and interface with automation in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.

Team-103: We need to identify psychological and psychosocial factors, measures, and combinations thereof for use in selecting individuals and composing highly effective crews most likely to maintain team function during shifting autonomy in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.
