Note to Applicants. Include collaborations or partnerships that strengthen the proposed research in terms of OSH, or related, expertise and resources. Evaluations provide information for management to improve program effectiveness. The CDC document A Framework for Program Evaluation can be helpful. Effective program evaluation is a systematic way to improve and account for public health actions by involving procedures that are useful, feasible, ethical, and accurate. Understanding and applying the elements of this framework for research projects may enhance planning effective public health strategies, improving existing programs, including evidence-based activities, and demonstrating beneficial results and impact of federal funding. In addition to ▇▇▇▇, NIOSH has established a Research-to-Practice (r2p) approach to reduce or eliminate occupational illness and injury by increasing the transfer and translation of knowledge, interventions, and technologies into highly effective prevention practices and products into the workplace. R2p is an approach to collaborations with partners and stakeholders on the use, adoption, and adaptation of NIOSH knowledge, interventions, and technologies that will move research into practice in order to reduce and eliminate injuries, illness, and fatalities. The r2p approach is an interactive process in which the occupational safety and health community, including researchers, communicators, decision-makers, and employer/employee groups, works collaboratively to: • Identify research needs • Design, plan, and conduct studies • Translate and disseminate existing knowledge, interventions, and technologies to relevant users for implementation in the workplace • Evaluate results to determine the impact on occupational safety and health Applicants must provide a brief statement about how their proposed research addresses r2p in both the Description (Abstract) and in the Research Strategy (Significance) sections of the application. Describe the anticipated strategies for translation and dissemination of research findings, including by audience segmentation and by the characteristics of the channels or modes of dissemination. A logic model that describes the inputs, activities, outputs, intermediate outcomes, and expected long-term outcomes may be included. The CDC document Applying the Knowledge to Action (K2A) Framework is a useful resource.
