Kavita Batra (Medicine) has recently joined the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Council established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]. The NORA is a partnership program to stimulate innovative research and improved workplace practices. NORA councils are a national venue for individuals and organizations with common interests in occupational safety and health topics to come together. Councils started the third decade of NORA (2016-2026) by identifying broad occupational safety and health research objectives for the nation. These research objectives built upon advances in knowledge in the last decade, addressed emerging issues, and were based on council member and public input. Councils are spending the remainder of the decade working together to address the agenda through information exchange, collaboration, and enhanced dissemination and implementation of solutions that work.
