Framework for the Review of NIOSH Research Programs

The National Academies' Committee for the Review of NIOSH Research Programs are pleased to announce completion of the framework for the review of research programs of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

This is a document prepared by the National Academies' Committee for the Review of NIOSH Research Programs, also referred to as the Framework Committee. This document is not a formal report of the National Academies-rather, it is a framework proposed for use by a number of National Academies committees that will be reviewing research in various research programs and health-outcomes programs. This version will be posted on the website of the National Academies and NIOSH for review. It is a working document that will be subject to change by the Framework Committee aimed at improving its relevance on the basis of responses received from evaluation committee members, NIOSH, stakeholders, and the general public before and during the course of the assessments conducted by independent evaluation committees of up to 15 research programs and health-outcomes programs.

The document is dated 12/19/05 and is the Framework to be used in the evaluation of NIOSH's Mining Research and Hearing Loss Research programs. For more information about this documentcontact Evan Douple (edouple@nas.edu) or Sammantha Magsino (smagsino@nas.edu) of the National Academies.
