Partners then work together to develop goals and objectives for addressing these needs. more...

NORA Spotlight:

Many of the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Sector Councils have already posted a draft national agenda for their sectors. They are now preparing updated agendas based on the comments received as they move into the implementation phase. If you or your organization has an interest in the accomplishment of one or more of the goals and are not already involved, contact the NORA Coordinator at noracoordinator@cdc.gov. Unique contributions from diverse partners will be required to accomplish the many surveillance, research, and research-to-practice goals outlined.
