About this file
This request for information (RFI) seeks capability statements for research and development services related to a Phase II study on biometric and team performance measurements. The study aims to develop a nontechnical skills educational tool to assess the impact on technical skills, nontechnical skills, and cognitive load during simulated medical missions. Capability statements are due by March 5, 2024 and should describe relevant experience conducting similar studies, expertise in related domains, and capabilities to meet the objectives outlined in the attached draft statement of work. The statement of work involves comparing behaviors of high- and low-performing teams, developing a trainer curriculum, and assessing applicability of physiological monitoring to field exercises. The work will be conducted by the US Air Force 59th Medical Wing Science and Technology Office at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.

Statement of Objectives
Statement of Objectives (SOO):
1.0 Background and Motivation
1.1 Summary Statement
Operational medicine readiness and sustainment platforms lack the capability for biometric cognitive load measurements and detailed nontechnical team performance assessments that systematically measure decision capacity and identify task weaknesses when introducing novel variables in operational medicine environments.
1.2 Overview
Prior work on cognitive load directly addresses the above limitation. The intent for this follow-on proposal is to develop an evidence-based nontechnical skills educational tool for En Route Critical Care (ERCC), and then assess the impact on technical team performance, nontechnical team performance, and individual cognitive load in ERCC simulated mission environments.
2.0 Objectives
The main objectives are summarized as follows:
2.1 Aim 1: Compare behaviors among teams with good nontechnical performance versus those with poor nontechnical performance. Multidisciplinary research team of human factors scientists and ERCC Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) will identify behaviors leading to poor and improved performance in the En Route Care Nontechnical Skills (ERC NTS) domains of situational awareness, decision making, task management, and team working.
2.2 Aim 2: Develop a Training-the-Trainers curriculum utilizing mixed methods of didactics and real-time coaching based on the knowledge product from Aim 1.
2.3 Aim 3: Describe the applicability and challenges of transitioning physiologic monitoring and Spaceflight Resource Management Medical Tool (SFRM-MED) scoring to ERCC field training exercises.
3.0 Period and place of performance
3.1 Period of Performance
Duration for this effort is expected to be 12 months.
4.0 Deliverables and Milestones
4.1 Milestones:
Year 1, Quarter 1:
· Complete categorization of poor and improved NTS behaviors (Aim 1).
· Complete draft of educational tool (Aim 2).
· Construct and dry run large volume simulation scenario (Aim 3) Year 1, Quarter 2:
· Finalize NTS education intervention (Aim 2).
· Begin data collection for simulated mission scenarios (Aim 3).
Year 1, Quarter 3:
· Complete data collection for simulated mission scenarios (Aim 3) Year 1, Quarter 4:
· Complete data analysis, interpretation, and dissemination.
4.2 Deliverables
- En Route Care Nontechnical Skills (ERC NTS) Tool
- Training-the-Trainer Curriculm
