Board on Human-Systems Integration
The Board on Human-Systems Integration (BOHSI) brings together experts to improve understanding of how people and organizational systems interact with technology. It identifies critical issues in designing, testing, and using human-centered technologies and promotes research to strengthen the scientific basis for effective design. Through studies and convening activities, BOHSI advances knowledge and collaboration across disciplines to ensure technology better supports human performance and well-being.

Description
The Board on Human-Systems Integration (BOHSI) provides new perspectives on theoretical and methodological issues concerning the relationship of individuals and organizations to technology and the environment; identifies critical issues in the design, test, evaluation, and use of new human-centered technologies; and advises sponsors on the research needed to expand the scientific and technical bases for designing technology to support the needs of its users.
The core program of the board has five central objectives: (1) to advise its sponsors regarding the most important basic research needs in the field as a whole and provide guidance on methods for investigating such problems; (2) to explore, in depth, the state of knowledge in selected areas judged to be of particular importance; (3) to provide a mechanism for encouraging contact and communication among both basic and applied researchers in the field, both in this country and abroad; (4) to attempt to interest outstanding younger scientists and senior persons outside the field of human factors engineering in conducting research relevant to major theoretical and methodological issues; and (5) to respond to requests from its sponsors for advice on specific problems or issues relating to their research programs.
