Research and Development (About Us)

🔬 NIOSH Research & Development (R&D)

Research and Development (R&D) constitutes one of the core functions of NIOSH. To effectively manage and coordinate all R&D activities, a Research Management Centre (RMC) has been established within the Institute.

RMC serves as the driving force behind NIOSH’s research excellence through the following responsibilities:

1. Promote multidisciplinary OSH research aligned with NIOSH priorities.
2. Facilitate high-impact collaborative research.
3. Monitor and coordinate research projects and collaboration strategically.
4. Disseminate research outcomes to stakeholders.
