In 2001 the NORA Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) team published a research agenda entitled Research Topics for the Next Decade. The team collectively compiled a list of national and international organizations and professionals interested in the area of musculoskeletal disorders for dissemination. The team co-sponsored a conference, “3rd Annual Applied Ergonomics Conference,” in March 2000 in Los Angeles, California. At the conference the team organized a session focused on ergonomics issues in health care that was open to the public. The team has organized a session at the Human Factors and Ergonomics Conference in October 2001 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The goal of the session is to inform professionals who are working on MSDs of the new NORA MSD research agenda. During the coming months the team will be writing two journal articles (for Professional Safety and Ergonomics) about the research agenda. Future goals are to make the research agenda well known to the professional ergonomics community and to begin partnering with foundations and other groups to collectively work on the research agenda. |
