Background: NORA is a partnership program to stimulate innovative research in occupational safety and health leading to improved workplace practices.

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 major sector groups have been defined using the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). After receiving public input through the web and town hall meetings, ten NORA Sector Councils have been working to define sectorspecific strategic plans for conducting VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:43 May 27, 2010 Jkt 220001 research and moving the results into widespread practice.
