Research and Development
About Us
NIOSH has now introduced research and development (R&D) activities as one of its core functions. To do that, the Research Management Center (RMC) was established to carry out all R&D activities and services at NIOSH.
RMC responsibility:
- To coordinate research projects through effective monitoring approaches
- To foster various discipline of OSH research in accordance with NIOSH priority
- To enable and expedite high-impact research through collaboration and partnership
- To disseminate research outcome to all relevant stakeholders
