NIOSH – Development of the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) for the Immune, Infectious and Dermal Disease Prevention Program

• Personal Author:

• Description:
  The NORA Council for the Immune, Infectious and Dermal Disease Prevention Program (IID) has identified 6 objectives which to focus their research efforts. (1) Investigate effects of recurring low-level occupational exposures on dermal, immune, and infectious diseases, including the role of perturbations on skin microbiome in maintenance of skin barrier function and toxicity resulting from xenobiotic metabolism by the skin and skin microbiome. (2) Investigate the contributions of skin exposure to the overall body burden of toxic substances including advancements in skin permeation measurements, modeling and refinement of skin exposure and risk assessment strategies. (3) Improve current skin exposure measurement methods including the quantification of chemical loading on the skin surface, characterization of dermal absorption or permeation, efficacy of workplace controls for dermal exposures and skin and surface decontamination methods. (4) Reduce the incidence and transmission of infectious disease in the workplace though assessment of exposure pathways, quantitative models, surveillance and intervention and preparedness. (5) Reduce the incidence of allergic disease in the workplace through the identification of allergens, understanding of the mechanisms of allergic disease and through surveillance, intervention and dissemination. (6) Investigate autoimmune disease risk associated with occupational and environmental exposures through increased workplace hazard evaluations, development and improvement of animal models, and identification of biomarkers of disease.
