r2p: Research To Practice at NIOSH

About r2p

The r2p initiative was established in 2004 to ensure NIOSH-generated research findings were transferred and translated into the workplace to prevent injury, illness, and fatalities. r2p is an interactive process in which the occupational safety and health community – including researchers, communicators, decision-makers, and employer/employee groups – work collaboratively to:

• Identify research needs
• Design, plan, and conduct studies
• Translate and disseminate NIOSH generated knowledge, interventions, and technologies to relevant users for implementation in the workplace
• Evaluate results to determine the impact on occupational safety and health

The r2p initiative has been integrated into the NIOSH Program Portfolio and the NIOSH Occupational Research Agenda (NORA). We invite you to learn more about our programs at NIOSH and contact us so we may assist you with your needs.
