Traumatic Injury

Inputs: National Research Agenda (NORA)

The National Occupational Research Agenda is a partnership program to stimulate innovative research and improved workplace practices. Unveiled in 1996, NORA has become a framework for occupational safety and health research in the nation. Diverse parties collaborate to identify the most critical issues in workplace safety and health. Partners then work together to develop goals, objectives and an implementation plan for addressing these needs.

Stakeholder Comments

Many stakeholders submitted comments in 2005 and 2006 outlining their top issues. The stakeholder comments can be searched, viewed and printed. These comments comprise one of the inputs considered by the NORA Sector Councils when drafting their strategic plans for the nation.

NORA Sector Councils

NORA Sector Councils develop and maintain sector-specific research agendas. In addition, a Cross-Sector Council coordinates priorities that affect multiple sectors and groups of workers. Representing all stakeholders, the councils use an open process to set goals, develop strategies, encourage partnerships, and promote improved workplace practices.

The NORA Traumatic Injury team has collaborated with a multidisciplinary team of safety researchers and practitioners from NIOSH, industry, labor, academia, and other government agencies in the planning and conduct of the National Occupational Injury Research Symposium (NOIRS). The NOIRS has brought injury prevention researchers and practitioners together to present and discuss new research findings and approaches. The NORA Traumatic Injury team has participated in all phases of these meetings. Several other NORA teams, including the Special Populations at Risk Team, the Organization of Work Team, the Social and Economic Consequences of Workplace Illness and Injury Team, and the Intervention Effectiveness Team participated in NOIRS by organizing special sessions on crosscutting topics.
