The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering awarded a $1,644,486 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine (UC Irvine) under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) federal grant program. The project aims to improve the mental well-being and productivity of the software development workforce by designing new collaborative software tools that prioritize worker mental health alongside engineering outcomes. The project consists of three main components: (1) observational studies, interviews, and surveys to assess the prevalence and impact of mental health issues among software developers; (2) development of design principles and best practices to support productivity while promoting mental well-being; and (3) prototyping and evaluating novel collaborative software tools based on the established principles. The results of this 4-year project are expected to contribute to discussions around mental health in the software industry, shape the design of future development tools, and provide educational resources for training the future software workforce.
