GLOBAL COLLABORATIONS

Program Description

Global Collaborations at NIOSH contribute to the reduction of occupational diseases, injuries, and fatalities among all workers employed in the U.S. and globally through cultivating international partnerships and sharing pertinent information. It is recognized that benefit flows both ways, and that NIOSH both contributes to and receives from its international collaborations.

The NIOSH Global Collaborations Program facilitates collaborations, partnerships, capacity building, and information exchange with global partners in areas of mutual interest to fill knowledge gaps and to enhance the impact of projects on workers both in the U.S. and in other countries. With expertise from across NIOSH’s divisions, the program strives to fulfill its mission through:

• Sharing information and research globally
• Contributing to international documents
• Providing international technical assistance
• Participating in international committees and professional associations
