A
Framework for the Review of Research
Programs of the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health *
This is a document prepared by the National Academies' Committee for the
Review of NIOSH Research Programs, 1 also referred to as the Framework Com-
mittee. This document is not a formal report of the National Academies—rather,
it is a framework proposed for use by a number of National Academies committees
that will be reviewing research in various research programs and health-outcomes
programs. This version will be posted on the website of the National Academies
and NIOSH for review. It is a working document that will be subject to change
by the Framework Committee aimed at improving its relevance on the basis of
responses received from evaluation committee members, NIOSH, stakeholders,
and the general public before and during the course of the assessments conducted
by independent evaluation committees of up to 15 research programs and health-
outcomes programs.
