SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Occupational Research Agenda 
(NORA) is a partnership program created to stimulate innovative 
research and improved workplace practices. The national agenda is 
developed and implemented through the NORA sector and cross-sector 
councils. Each council develops and maintains an agenda for its sector 
or cross-sector.
    Background: The National Occupational Research Agenda for Public 
Safety is intended to identify the research, information, and actions 
most urgently needed to prevent occupational injuries. The National 
Occupational Research Agenda for public safety provides a vehicle for 
stakeholders to describe the most relevant issues, gaps, and safety and 
health needs for the public safety sector. Each NORA research agenda is 
meant to guide or promote high priority research efforts on a national 
level, conducted by various entities, including: government, higher 
education, and the private sector.
    The first National Occupational Research Agenda for Public Safety 
was published in 2009 for the second decade of NORA (2006-2016). This 
draft is an updated agenda for the third decade of NORA (2016-2026). 
The revised agenda was developed considering new information about 
injuries and illnesses, the state of the science, and the probability 
that new information and approaches will make a difference. As the 
steward of the NORA process, NIOSH invites comments on the draft 
National Occupational Research Agenda for Public Safety. Comments 
expressing support or with specific recommendations to improve the 
Agenda are requested. A copy of the draft Agenda is available at 
https://www.regulations.gov (see Docket Number CDC-2018-0033).

Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health,
