Description: SMG Closeout.pptx NASA?s Human Health and Performance (HH&P) Directorate optimizes the performance of our astronauts during all aspects of spaceflight ? before, during and after missions. HH&P designs the tools, equipment and training needed for our space travelers to accomplish their missions and learn all they can about how the body is affected by microgravity and the other hazards of space, and what we need to be able to survive. HH&P is responsible for medical treatment to our astronauts, developing tools, processes and hardware to aid astronauts during their mission and analyzing the science that benefits life on Earth. NASA?s HH&P Directorate helps solve these problems? but if you are a scientist or project manager at NASA, sometimes it?s hard to figure out what is the best route/path to take to solve your problem. The Solution Mechanism Guide is a tool to educate our scientists and managers about what tools are available for them to utilize in order to solve the challenges of spaceflight. It is crucial that this tool be tailorable to changing and new mechanisms while not requiring significant administrative overhead.
This challenge seeks to create an online tool so that users can navigate a series of questions to a filtered subset of solution mechanisms that are a best fit for their specific needs based on the criteria they input.

Benefits:

This challenge resulted in a very capable on-line tool that exceeded initial expectations. The software was developed very cost effectively and is currently deployed internally on NASA’s network. This software includes both user and administrative interfaces and provides a significantly tailorable content management schema which will allow the tool to be used by almost any organization. The code was delivered as OpenSource software under an Apache 2.0 license and the source code is available at https://github.com/nasa/NTL-Solution-Mechanism-Guide.
