Abstract: In 1995-6, NIOSH developed and launched a decade-long partnership program titled the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). Participation in NORA includes stakeholders from universities, large and small businesses, professional societies, government agencies, and worker organizations. NIOSH conducted an internal management review of the first decade of NORA in 2005 and 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 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. This 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.
