This meeting will include updates 

from NIOSH leadership on NORA as 

well as updates from approximately half 

of the NORA Sector Councils on their 

progress, priorities, and implementation 

plans to date, likely including the 

NORA Construction, Manufacturing, 

Public Safety, Services, and Wholesale 

and Retail Trade Sector Councils. 

Updates will also be given on at least 

one NIOSH Program that is working on 

several NORA priorities, e.g., the NIOSH 

Global Collaborations Program. After 

each update, there will be time to 

discuss partnership opportunities. 

Status: The meeting is open to the 

public, limited only by the capacities of 

the conference call and conference room 

facilities. There is limited space 

available in the meeting room (capacity 

34). Therefore, information to allow 

participation in the meeting through the 

Internet (to see the slides) and a 

teleconference call (capacity 50) will be 

provided to registered participants. 

Participants are encouraged to consider 

attending by this method. Each 

participant is requested to register for 

the free meeting by sending an email to 

noracoordinator@cdc.gov containing the 

participant’s name, organization name, 

contact telephone number on the day of 

the meeting, and preference for 

participation in-person or by Web 

meeting (requirements include: 

computer, Internet connection, and 

telephone, preferably with ‘mute’ 

capability). An email confirming 

registration will include the details 

needed to participate in the Web

to the meeting site and will not be able 

to attend the meeting in-person due to 

mandatory security clearance 

procedures at the Patriots Plaza facility. 

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 http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ 

nora/about.html. 

Since 2006, NORA has been 

structured according to industrial 

sectors. Ten 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 

defined sector-specific strategic plans 

for conducting research and moving the 

results into widespread practice. To 

view the National Sector Agendas, see
