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 National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Symposium is planned for the spring of 2011 in Washington, DC. It will mark the 15th anniversary of NORA and the 40th anniversary of the creation of NIOSH. A NORA symposium is held every few years to celebrate successes and work toward future achievements (see the "Historical Information" section of the NORA Web site). Contact the NORA coordinator (noracoordinator@cdc.gov) with your suggestions for a great NORA symposium.
