For more than 70 years, the San José State University
Foundation has provided the entrepreneurial
frame-
work through which SJSU faculty successfully
partner
with government agencies, corporations,
and
foundations to perform cutting-edge research,
public
service, and other specialized projects
so vital to a
community of scholars and to society as
a whole. As
a private non-profit corporation, the Foundation
also
administers contributions made on behalf
of SJSU to
fund scholarships, faculty development,
capital
programs, laboratory equipment and other
important
academic initiatives.

SJSU Supports NASA -
Ames Human Factors Research
Long
before the National Transportation Safety Board identified
crew fatigue in 1992 as a primary contributor to aviation
accidents, SJSU researchers were collaborating with NASA
scientists to investigate the role of human error in flight
accidents and air transportation safety.
