Global Collaborations

Inputs: NIOSH Strategic Goals

The Global Collaborations Program embraces the third strategic goal of the NIOSH Strategic Plan 2004 – 2009:

Enhance global occupational safety and health through international collaborations

Take a leadership role in developing a global network of occupational health centers.
Investigate alternative approaches to reducing occupational illness and injury and provide technical assistance to put solutions in place.
Build global professional capacity to address occupational hazards through training, information sharing and research experience.

The NIOSH Global Collaborations Program is in the process of developing strategic goals to guide our research and partnership efforts with the NORA Sector Research Councils over the next decade. These strategic goals will incorporate the needs of the Sector Research Councils and the needs of NIOSH in its role as a key global leader in occupational safety and health.

Draft NIOSH Global Collaborations Program Goals:

NIOSH is in the process of drafting strategic goals for the NIOSH Global Collaborations Program. These strategic goals will guide research and partnership efforts with the NORA Sector Research Councils over the next decade. These goals will incorporate the needs of the Sector Research Councils and the needs of NIOSH as a key leader in global occupational safety and health. The goals will be organized by outcomes such as injuries and illnesses rather than more general topic areas such as "reducing all occupational mortality in the transportation industry."

Draft cross-cutting goals

Reduce disease and injury of workers through global partnerships. See Research to Practice at NIOSH.
Reduce hazards in workplaces through shared international information.
Reduce hazards in workplaces through global partnerships.
Increase the number of occupational safety and health professionals in developing nations through global partnerships.
Encourage implementation of interventions through demonstrating that they achieve economic cost-effectiveness for employers as well as improved health for workers. See Economics strategic goals

Sector-specific goals

Reduce road safety injuries of workers through global partnerships (See Transportation Sector strategic goals).
Reduce silicosis among miners, construction workers, and other workers globally through sharing good work practices, providing technical assistance to control exposures, and capacity building to diagnose and treat existing cases (See Mining Sector, Construction Sector, and Respiratory Disease strategic goals).
Reduce HIV/AIDS and other bloodborne pathogens through global partnerships, as well as through implementing and evaluating the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Toolkit, "Protecting Healthcare Workers: Preventing Needlestick Injuries," and coordinating training programs (See Healthcare Sector strategic goals).
Prevent worker illness globally from exposure to nanomaterials by sharing information(See Nanotechnology Topic Page).

When draft goals for the NIOSH Global Collaborations Program are completed, they will be posted here for review and comment. We will also use the NIOSH eNews to announce that draft goals are available for review.

NIOSH is interested in your opinions about the relevance and value of strategic goals for its Global Collaborations Program. We encourage you to consider partnering with us on issues of interest to you and your organization.

The development of goals for the NIOSH Global Collaborations Program is closely linked to the new NORA Cross-Cutting Global Collaborations Program, which will become active in late 2006. Soon we will be developing national goals for the NIOSH Global Collaborations Program in collaboration with partners from various Sector Research Councils.
