SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Occupational Research Agenda 
(NORA) is a partnership program created to stimulate innovative 
research and improved workplace practices. The national agenda is 
developed and implemented through the NORA sector and cross-sector 
councils. Each council develops and maintains an agenda for its sector 
or cross-sector.
    Background: The National Occupational Research Agenda for Healthy 
Work Design and Well-being is intended to identify the research, 
information, and actions most urgently needed to prevent occupational 
injuries. This research agenda provides a vehicle for stakeholders to 
describe the most relevant issues, gaps, and safety and health needs 
for the sector. Each NORA research agenda is meant to guide or promote 
high priority research efforts on a national level, conducted by 
various entities, including: Government, higher education, and the 
private sector.
    This is the first Healthy Work Design and Well-Being Agenda, 
developed for the third decade of NORA (2016-2026). It was developed 
considering new information about injuries and illnesses, the state of 
the science, and the probability that new information and approaches 
will make a difference. As the steward of the NORA process, NIOSH 
invites comments on the draft National Occupational Research Agenda for 
Healthy Work Design and Well-Being. Comments expressing support or with 
specific recommendations to improve the agenda are requested. A copy of 
the draft agenda is available at https://www.regulations.gov (see 
Docket Number CDC-2019-0018).
