“In July, the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) community hosted a symposium on achieving impact through research and partnerships,” writes NIOSH Director Dr. John Howard in his latest “From the Director’s Desk” NIOSH blog.
“The symposium featured two keynote speakers; Dr. James Dearing from Keiser Permanente and Jordan Barab, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health. Dr. Dearing’s keynote congratulated the NORA sector-based approach for bringing those together who could accomplish diffusion of research results and challenged all researchers to learn and apply the many additional lessons he outlined from the field of Diffusion of Innovations.
