National Occupational Research Agenda
The National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) is a partnership effort to define and conduct high priority research in occupational safety and health. Sector-based partnerships use research results to encourage changes in workplaces that will be effective in reducing worker injuries, illnesses, and deaths. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health serves as a facilitator of the NORA process.
ANA has been represented on the Healthcare And Social Assistance Sector Council of NORA.

Patient Safety Research Grant
The American Nurses Foundation (ANF), the charitable and philanthropic arm of the American Nurses Association, is pleased to announce a new $5000 grant to support nursing research on patient safety funded by The Josie King Foundation.
This award is named in honor of Josie King, an 18-month old girl who died as a result of medical errors. The Josie King Foundation’s mission is to prevent patients from dying or being harmed by medical errors by uniting health care providers and consumers in the evolution of a health care culture that promotes patient safety. The Josie King Foundation Award for Nursing Research in Patient Safety will fund one grant for patient safety research with preference given to a study focused on communication and teamwork in the patient-provider relationship.
Nurse researchers who are interested in learning more about or applying for this or other grants available through ANF’s Nursing Research Grants Program can go online to www.anfonline.org/MainCategory/NursingResearchGrant.aspx.
The deadline for this year’s submissions is May 3, 2010. For more information on the Josie King Foundation, please visit www.josieking.org.
