Aerospace Medical Association The Aerospace Medical Association ... is the largest most representative professional organization of medical specialists, life scientists, and engineers in the fields of aviation, space, and environmental medicine. Through the efforts of Association members, safety in flight and man's overall adaptation to adverse environments have been more nearly achieved.

Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association "The AOPA was founded in 1939 to help make flying safer, less expensive, more useful, and more fun. These remain AOPA's fundamental goals today. In addition, AOPA works for public recognition of general aviation's social, cultural, and economic benefits to the nation. By far the largest general aviation advocacy organization in the world, AOPA ranks among the 100 largest membership organizations of any kind in the United States."

Department of Transportation Science and Technology  Enabling research supports the long-term evolution of the future transportation system. As stated in the General Accounting Office report on Surface Transportation Research Funding, Federal Role, and Emerging Issues, as well as by numerous transportation officials, "the current mix of research projects gives too little emphasis to basic, long-term, high-risk surface transportation research." Research and engineering provide the technical underpining for the transportation system of the 21st century. They support long-term national transportation goals whose benefits are too widely spread for any one company to recover its investment, whose cost or risk is too great for one company to bear, and whose benefits are too far in the future to meet private investment.

HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) Bibliography (at Ohio State Univ.) "The HCI Bibliography is a free-access online bibliographic database on Human-Computer Interaction. The basic goal of the Project is to put an electronic bibliography for most of HCI on the screens of all researchers, developers, educators and students in the field through anonymous ftp access, mail servers, and Macintosh and DOS floppy disks. As of September 1994, through the efforts of over 100 volunteers from 13 nations, the bibliography has grown to a resource of over 10,900 entries occupying over 12 megabytes, used by over 475 sites in 30 nations." Site maintained by Gary Perlman of Ohio State University

Human Factors and Ergonomics Society "The HFES promotes the discovery and exchange of knowledge concerning the characteristics of human beings that are applicable to the design of systems and devices of all kinds. It also furthers serious consideration of knowledge about the assignment of appropriate functions for humans and machines, whether people serve as operators, maintainers, or users in the system. And, it advocates systematic use of such knowledge to achieve compatibility in the design of interactive systems of people, machines, and environments to ensure their effectiveness, safety, and ease of performance. The Society encourages education and training for those entering the human factors and ergonomics profession and for those who conceive, design, develop, manufacture, test, manage, and participate in systems. " Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Potomac Chapter (Washington, DC)
