Global Collaborations

Inputs: National Research Agenda (NORA)

Sector-Based Approach

For the past 9 years, the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) has served as a framework to guide occupational safety and health research-not only for NIOSH but for the entire occupational safety and health community. Before NORA, no national research agenda existed in the field of occupational safety and health, and no research agenda in any field had captured such broad input and consensus. Approximately 500 participants outside NIOSH provided input into the development of the first agenda.

The second decade of NORA uses a sector-based approach to build on the success of its first decade. Eight sector-based groups were formed by aggregating the 20 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) sectors according to the similarity of their occupational safety and health issues.

NIOSH and its partners are forming eight Sector Research Councils, one for each sector-based group, including participants from academia, industry, labor, and government. Each Sector Research Council will draft a sector-based research agenda consisting of research goals, objectives, and action plans. These agendas will provide guidance to the entire occupational safety and health community for moving research to practice in workplaces. The sector-based research goals, objectives, and action plans will be posted to the NIOSH Web site for review and comment.

Cross-sector programs contribute to the work of the Sector Research Councils when several sectors share a common problem, such as ergonomics, hearing loss, etc. The cross-sector programs bring together expertise and information to tackle the problems most efficiently. The Global Collaborations program contributes to all Sector Research Councils by facilitating potential partnerships with others who are tackling similar sector-based problems in other countries and by assisting with the sharing of useful international information on research, solutions and implementation of preventive interventions.;
