Background: NORA is a partnership
program to stimulate innovative
research in occupational safety and
health leading to improved workplace
practices. Unveiled in 1996, NORA has
become a research framework for 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 those needs
and to move the research results into
practice. The NIOSH role is facilitator of
the process. For more information about
NORA, see https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/
nora/about.html.
Since 2006, NORA has been
structured according to industrial
sectors. Eight sector groups have been
defined using the North American
Industrial Classification System

(NAICS). After receiving public input
through the Web and town hall
meetings, NORA Sector Councils have
been working to define sector-specific
strategic plans for conducting research
and moving the results into widespread
practice. During 2008, most of these
Councils have posted draft strategic
plans for public comment. One has
posted its finalized National Sector
Agenda after considering comments on
its draft. For more information, see the
link above and choose ‘‘Sector-based
Approach,’’ ‘‘NORA Sector Councils,’’
‘‘Sector Agendas’’ and ‘‘Comment on
Draft Sector Agendas’’ from the rightside menu.
