The result was a refined vision and mission, and revised goals, objectives, and strategies. One of the first changes implemented was to rename the directorate from Space Life Sciences to Human Health and Performance  to better reflect our vision and mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most significant change in the directorate from the previous strategy was the integration of the Human Research Program and Crew Health and Safety activities.  This change enhanced integration of research and development with operations to better support human spaceflight and International Space Station (ISS) utilization. Today, HH&P is ideally positioned to  enable a more effective and efficient approach to human system risk mitigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Human Health and Performance goals are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Lead human exploration and ISS utilization;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lead human health and performance internationally;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excel in management and advancement of innovations in health and human system integration;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expand relevance to life on Earth and create enduring support and enthusiasm for space exploration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We will achieve our goals by providing the following functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Optimize the integrated human system risk management process and continue to use the system to prioritize risks and execute tasks;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define, develop, and maintain core capabilities and competencies;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expand and strengthen strategic relationships;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Define, communicate and implement a customer-focused business model within the directorate;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve our customer focus;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhance internal and external communication in terms meaningful to our stakeholders, customers, and the general public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-full\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><div class=\"parallax-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?w=2048\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Astronaut uses a fundoscope to image her eye\" style=\"transform: scale(1.1); transform-origin: 46% 64%; object-position: 46% 64%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg 4256w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=768,511 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=1024,681 1024w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=1536,1022 1536w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=2048,1363 2048w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=400,266 400w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=600,399 600w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=900,599 900w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=1200,798 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/iss036e006520.jpg?resize=2000,1331 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">Visual Impairment Intracranial Pressure (VIIP) Syndrome was identified in 2005.
