National Academies Review of the NIOSH Hearing Loss Research Program

اسلاید 1: National Academies Review of the NIOSH Hearing Loss Research Program Lewis V. Wade, Ph.D.Senior Science AdvisorNational Institute for Occupational Safety and HealthJanuary 5, 2006

اسلاید 2: Presentation ObjectivesNIOSH goals for this reviewOverview of NIOSH and it’s research programsQuestions and Discussion

اسلاید 3: Review of NIOSH Research ProgramsConduct a series of studies to review NIOSH research activities with respect to:Impact of completed research in the workplaceRelevance of research conducted Significant emerging issues

اسلاید 4: Why has NIOSH undertaken this review?

اسلاید 5: Quantitative Results“The committee will rate the performance of each program activity on a scale of 1 – 5 for the impact of the program in the workplace and for the success of the program in achieving its goals. For cases where the impact is difficult to measure, the committee may evaluate performance by using existing intermediate outcomes to estimate impact.”

اسلاید 20: Board of Scientific CounselorsThe Board of Scientific Counselors shall provide guidance to the Director, NIOSH, on research and preventions programs. Specifically, the Board shall provide guidance on the Institutes research activities related to developing and evaluating hypotheses, systematically documenting findings and disseminating results. The Board shall evaluate the degree to which the activities of NIOSH: (1) Conform to appropriate scientific standards, (2) address current, relevant needs, and (3) produce intended results.

اسلاید 46: NIOSH thoughts on NA review processPrograms, not projectsImportance of quantitative as well as qualitative assessmentBottom line effectiveness, not just a review of processes

اسلاید 47: NIOSH thoughts on the FrameworkComfortable with the FrameworkNo Framework can cover the breadth of NIOSH programs; EC may face some challengesWe understand that arriving at a simple number rating is a difficult task, we also understand that some will place great importance in that number, we appreciate your effortsKeep in mind that NIOSH’s ultimate goals is to do “better” work, therefore your advice is welcome
