> The NASA Aviation Safety Research Initiative will include an element
> tosupport research to improve safety by improving human performance
> through more effective training. The training research element will
> support both intramural work at NASA research centers and grants to
> outside
>
> organizations. This element will address operations in Part 121, Part
> 135,and Part 91 and may include training for aircrew and for ground
> personnel. Because the range of needs and opportunities for training
> research is broad,we must identify the most urgent topics to have the
> greatest impact on
>
> safety with this modest-sized program. NASA is coordinating this
> program with the FAA and the DOD so that the areas we fund complement
> and leverage the programs funded by these agencies.

> WE NEED YOUR HELP!

> We are soliciting suggestions, especially from those in the operational

> What do you think are the most urgent needs for training that would
> substantially improve the safety of aviation operations?
>
>
> Please focus on topics for which existing knowledge is inadequate and
> thus require research, and consider especially topics that will have a
> long-term impact. Your comments do not have to be formal or elaborate;
> all we need is your perception of an operational need and why it is
> important.

>
> This request is not a request for research proposals; we cannot accept
> them at this stage. Our task now is to determine operational needs. The
> input we receive from the operational communities will help us shape
> the priorities and approach of the program. We will use this assessment
> of operational
>
> needs to prepare a solicitation for research proposals to be issued
> later. When we do solicit research proposals we will encourage
> researchers to form partnerships with organizations in the operational
> community so that the research will be operationally relevant and the
> results of the research can
>
> be readily implemented.

> Also, please give us your mailing address if you would like to be on
