Proposed Project
National Occupational Research
Agenda (NORA) 2016 Decade Review—
New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is responsible for conducting
research and making recommendations
to prevent worker injury and illness, as
authorized in Section 20(a)(1) of the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (29
U.S.C. 669). In 1995–6, NIOSH saw an
opportunity to enhance its ability to
accomplish its mission through
partnerships that involved a broad
national stakeholder base in
occupational safety and health. With
stakeholder input, NIOSH developed
and launched a decade-long partnership
program titled the National
Occupational Research Agenda (NORA)
in 1996. Participation in NORA includes
stakeholders from universities, large and
small businesses, professional societies,
government agencies, and worker
organizations. After an internal
management review of the first decade
of NORA, conducted in 2005, NIOSH
launched the second decade of NORA
(2006–2016) structured for even greater
national impact. This information
collection is a necessary part of a larger
internal NIOSH management review of
the second decade of NORA. The results
of this review will inform NIOSH
decisions about how to structure a third
decade of NORA (2016–2026) for
maximum effectiveness and impact.
The second decade of NORA was
based on a new sector structure to better
move research to practice within
workplaces. The work of the sectors is
managed through a partnership
structure of sector councils. Each
council develops and maintains an
agenda for the decade for its sector. The
sector agendas become part of the
national agenda for improvements in
occupational safety and health through
research and partnerships. Representing
all stakeholders, the councils use an
open process to set goals, develop
strategies, encourage partnerships, and
promote improved workplace practices.
NIOSH is requesting a 12-month OMB
approval to administer a survey to
NORA council members and leaders.
The collection of information is
necessary for NIOSH management to
assess the efficiency and effectiveness of
the NORA sector councils. The target
population is all current and former
members and leaders of each of the ten
NORA Sector Councils. The web-based
questionnaire requests information on
satisfaction with the efficiency of the
council and its processes, on impacts
made in the sector during the second
decade, and suggestions for improving
the effectiveness and impact of NORA
in the future. Without this data
collection, NIOSH’s internal
management review of NORA would
lack critical stakeholder input from its
many non-Federal partners.
A 16-item questionnaire has been
developed and will be sent to all 352
non-Federal NORA Sector council
members or leaders. A pilot test of the
questionnaire was conducted by asking
eight NIOSH employees who are a
leader of a NORA sector council to
complete the questionnaire and provide
feedback. Respondents to the pilot test
estimated the questionnaire requires
approximately 15 minutes to complete.
The total estimated burden is 88 hours.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
