• Corporate Authors:
  Committee to Review the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Traumatic Injury Research Program, Institute of Medicine and National Research Council
• Description:
  The goal of research conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is protecting and improving the health and safety of workers. The Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council conducted a series of evaluations of NIOSH research programs that assessed the relevance and impact of NIOSH's work on meeting this goal. Eight NIOSH programs were evaluated based on a common framework. This report provides the lessons learned in the evaluation process, a revised evaluation framework, and the following recommendations for evaluating occupational health and safety research programs: continue systematic external evaluations, bolster research translation efforts, enhance occupational health and safety surveillance, and integrate evaluations of intramural and extramural research.
