Aims:
Identification and integration of operationally-relevant performance tasks from available performance measures across disciplines to determine necessary and sufficient performance measures for use in future research (working group). Scope of this effort is to identify the BHP Ops relevant performance measures and link these to Brain Performance Pathways for use by Translational Modeling efforts.
Aim 1. Thorough review of NASA technical and internal documents and the scientific literature and input from NASA Operations experts, identify the core tasks, individual and team performance abilities, and behavioral health and performance competencies for long-duration space exploration missions.
Aim 2. Thorough review of the CNS/SM/BMed scientific literature and NASA technical and internal documents, identify the constituent neurobehavioral processes (e.g., attention, short-term memory, verbal communication), Brain Performance Pathways, and neurobehavioral, neuroanatomical, and neurochemical substrates underlying each of the core tasks, individual and team performance abilities, and behavioral health and performance competencies for long-duration space exploration missions identified in Aim 1.
Aim 3. Thorough review of the CNS/SM/BMed scientific literature and NASA technical and internal documents, identify and assess the sensitivity, reliability, validity, translational potential, and redundancy of existing research measures of the constituent neurobehavioral processes, Brain Performance Pathways, and neurobehavioral, neuroanatomical, and neurochemical substrates underlying the core tasks, individual and team performance abilities, and behavioral health and performance competencies for long-duration space exploration missions identified in Aim 2.
Aim 4. Integrate the results of Aims 1-3 into a spreadsheet summarizing the findings and allowing for identification of relative strengths and weaknesses of each potential operational performance measure and potential redundancy of measures via overlapping Brain Performance Pathways.
Aim 5. If available, incorporate into the summary spreadsheet created in Aim 4 the results of other CBS Operational Performance Measures and CBS integrated datamining Directed Tasks. This may include, but is not limited to, CBS Data Mining (PI A. Mulavara), CBS NHP CNS Radiation/Performance Data Mining (PI TBD), and CBS RR: Neurobehavioral Biomarkers Performance/Pathway (PI TBD).
Aim 6. Draft a report summarizing the project, including rationale/background, methodology, results, and discussion. Recommend to NASA an evidence-based set(s) of candidate operationally-relevant Brain Performance Pathways measures applicable across multiple Risk areas for use in an integrated, translational CNS/BMed/SM research plan.

Description:
-Recommendations for concise set of operationally-relevant human performance measures for future CBS research (radiation, stress, altered gravity)
-Given identified operationally-relevant tasks related to crew performance, identification of scientifically plausible Brain Performance Pathways for those operationally-relevant measures for subsequent use and linkage to Translational models linking animal performance and brain function/structure changes to human performance measures (behavior, biomarker, predictive models)
-Identification/recommendations operational performance changes in standards/guidelines changed in NASA STD 3001 (e.g., monitoring frequency based on length/amount of radiation exposure along with cumulative effects of other spaceflight stressors).
