NHHPC• Introduction - WELCOME!• Center concept established in 2007 strategic plan– Officially opened October 18, 2010– Currently 64 members
• Established to connect organizations worldwide interested in collaborating and advancing human health and performance innovations for space flight, commercial aviation and challenging environments on Earth.

NHHPC
• Themes:– Health– Performance, Human Factors, and Human
System Engineering– Habitability and Environment– Research and technology Development– Education and Outreach

NHHPC• Why the NHHPC? Established October 18, 2010– Publishes member needs in an open collaborative forum
to facilitate potential collaborative partnerships– Benefits all member organizations by closing gaps in the
research and technology human health and performance portfolio of work
– Leverages resources of all members– Facilitates rapid data sharing among members– Enables collaborative project discussions– Facilitates project prioritization, tracking and information
dissemination

NHHPC• Administration and operations– Shared NASA leadership (JSC and Ames) – located at
JSC– Executive council to determine topics – No fees or agreements to join– NASA team provides communications, workshops,
facilitates Space Act Agreements– All material cleared for the public domain– Member connect area on the website (coming soon)– Projects among non-traditional partners
6
NHHPC• NHHPC– First year products envisioned
– 2 to 3 workshops on compelling topics– 4-5 collaborative projects– Interagency challenges– Public-private challenges and/or projects– Accumulate and distribute best practices in many areas
– Will constantly solicit your feedback as to how to make this Center of value to all members

Open Innovation- TopCoder
• Opportunity presented to NASA by Harvard Business School
• Research project to compare outcomes of collaborative and competitive teams
• NASA provided the problem statement • Optimize algorithm that supports medical kit design
• Competition began on 11/04/2009 and lasted approximately 10 days
• 2800 solutions were submitted by 480 individuals
• Useful algorithm developed and incorporated into NASA model
• Team felt this process was more efficient than internal development
• Next steps – SOMD (Jason Crusan) has formed a Tournament Lab with HBS and TopCoder to seek many novel optimization algorithms for ISS
