formally disseminated by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
and should not be construed to represent any agency determination or policy
Organizational Chart of Federal Entities
for Occupational Safety and Health
Regulation and Enforcement:Department of Labor (DOL)
Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Research and Prevention Recommendations:Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
The sole federal government organization
charged with conducting occupational safety
and health research
NIOSH Research Agenda
Before 1996:
– National symposia on the leading
causes of occupationally-related
illness and injury
– Ten strategies
After 1996:
– National Occupational Research
Agenda (NORA)
A national partnership effort to define and conduct priority research
NORA 1996 to the Present
• 1996 NORA established
– Public-Private Framework setting OSH research agenda for the Nation
• 2006 Second Decade of NORA
– Organized research around 8 major industrial categories
– Focus: research to practice
NIOSH Research and NIOSH-Funded
Research
– Relevant to the problems of today’s
workers and the workers of tomorrow
– Reflects science of the highest Quality
– Demonstrates measurable Impact
NORA 2006 - 2016
Organized around a portfolio of programs using North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS)
Focused on impact using a research-to-practice (r2p) model
Independent scientific review by the National Academies

The BNI Method
We select the most important
work to protect the
workforce
We identify priorities to guide
investments
We base priorities on the
evidence of burden, need
and impact.
Burden
ImpactNeed
BNI and Research Priorities
Burden
• Burden estimates drive the priority setting process
• Morbidity and mortality
• Disability and severity
• Economic costs
• Emerging Issues
Need
• Need identifies the most appropriate activities to conduct
• Stakeholder input
• NIOSH advantage
• Broad context fit
Impact
• Impact identifies activities with the greatest likelihood of success in preventing or reducing burden
Research Priorities
• BNI method selects priority research to guide investments to ensure that we do the most impactful work to protect the workforce
