Inputs: Partnerships & Stakeholders

Partnerships

Partnerships are integral to the NIOSH MSD Cross-Sector Program. Input from customers and stakeholder groups, which have inherent knowledge and concern about the safety and health of workers in this topic area, helps in setting research priorities. Collaborative research with our partners may include in-kind contributions that help to leverage NIOSH research dollars. Partners also add expertise or specialized experience to the research team, which benefits the research, analysis, interpretation, and communication of the results.

For example, in 2004, NIOSH MSD-related intramural research projects involved over 130 partnerships. These partners included the following:
