Small Business Assistance and OutreachInputs: PartnersPartnerships are integral to the NIOSH Program for the Small Business Assistance and Outreach program. Input from customers and stakeholder groups, which have inherent knowledge and concern about the health and safety of small business workers, helps in setting research priorities. Collaborative research with our partners may include in-kind contributions which help to leverage NIOSH research dollars. Partners also add expertise or specialized experience to the research team, which benefits the research, analysis, interpretation, and communication of the results. Past and present partners on various research and outreach efforts affecting small businesses include: Academia
Government
Labor
Non-governmental Organizations
Professional and Trade Associations
