Health Hazard EvaluationsOutputs: Research to PracticeHistorically, NIOSH has been a leader in applying research into workplace solutions that reduce injury and illness. Research to Practice (r2p) is a NIOSH initiative focused on the transfer and translation of research findings, technologies, and information into highly effective prevention practices and products which are adopted in the workplace. The goal of r2p is to increase workplace use of effective NIOSH and NIOSH-funded research findings. NIOSH continues to work with our partners to focus research on ways to develop effective products, translate research findings into practice, target dissemination efforts, and evaluate and demonstrate the effectiveness of these efforts in improving worker health and safety. The HHE effectiveness evaluation program, begun in fiscal year 2000, tracks a 50% sample of valid HHE requests to provide measures by which NIOSH can continually improve the HHE process and assess implementation of its recommendations. For the selected HHEs, written surveys are conducted of principal parties at the work site who are involved in the HHEs process. The HHE project officer is also surveyed. The surveys are conducted at three points in time: at the conclusion of the site visit (where there is one), approximately one month after the HHE is closed (final report or close-out letter sent), and approximately one year after close-out of the evaluation.
