SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Occupational Research Agenda 

(NORA) is a partnership program 

created to stimulate innovative research 

and improved workplace practices. The 

national agenda is developed and 

implemented through the NORA sector 

and cross-sector councils. Each council 

develops and maintains an agenda for 

its sector or cross-sector. 

Background: The National 

Occupational Research Agenda for 

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing is 

intended to identify the research, 

information, and actions most urgently 

needed to prevent occupational 

illnesses and injuries in the Agriculture, 

Forestry and Fishing sector. The 

National Occupational Research Agenda 

for Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing 

provides a vehicle for stakeholders to 

describe the most relevant issues, gaps, 

and safety and health needs for the 

sector. Each NORA research agenda is 

meant to guide or promote high priority 

research efforts on a national level, 

conducted by various entities, 

including: Government, higher 

education, and the private sector. 

The first National Occupational 

Research Agenda for Agriculture, 

Forestry and Fishing was published in 

2008 for the second decade of NORA 

(2006–2016). This draft is an updated 

agenda for the third decade of NORA 

(2016–2026). The revised agenda was 

developed considering new information 

about injuries and illnesses, the state of 

the science, and the probability that 

new information and approaches will 

make a difference. As the steward of the 

NORA process, NIOSH invites 

comments on the draft National 

Occupational Research Agenda for 

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing. 

Comments expressing support or with 

specific recommendations to improve 

the Agenda are requested. A copy of the 

draft Agenda is available at https://

www.regulations.gov (see Docket 

Number CDC–2018–0007).
