The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) is a partnership program to stimulate innovative research and improved workplace practices. Unveiled in 1996, NORA has become a research framework for NIOSH and the nation. Diverse parties collaborate to identify the most critical issues in workplace safety and health. Partners then work together to develop goals and objectives for addressing these needs. more...
NORA Sector Councils have created sector agendas for the nation to guide research and research-to-practice. The Councils will update these as needed. All comments sent to the NORA Coordinator will be forwarded to the relevant Council.
Planning documents developed by the NORA Sector Councils are available for public comment. All comments will be considered by the council in future revisions. Choose from the drafts below to review a product and submit a comment.
The next NORA Liaison Committee meeting, Partnerships to Advance the National Occupational Research Agenda, will be held January 22, 2009, in Washington, DC. Attendees can also participate online. Past meetings have afforded an opportunity for representatives of organizations with a national scope (employers, unions, professional associations, and others) to learn about the progress of NORA and to further enhance the success of NORA by identifying possible partnerships with each other or with NIOSH. Details on the meeting were posted at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/whatsnew.html on December 1. For more information or to preregister to attend in person or online, contact the NORA Coordinator noracoordinator@cdc.gov.
