Partnerships are integral to the NIOSH Program for the PPT Program. Input from customers and stakeholder groups, which have inherent knowledge and concern about the health and safety of workers in the sector, helps in setting research priorities. Collaborative research with our partners may include in-kind contributions which help to leverage NIOSH research dollars. Partners also add expertise or specialized experience to the research team, which benefits the research, analysis, interpretation, and communication of the results.
The PPT Program model highlights the importance of partnerships with key stakeholders for the definition, execution, and ultimate success of its programs. PPT Programs are defined with input and guidance from user communities to address their PPE needs. These needs become the targets for PPT Program research, advanced protective strategies, and surveillance activities. These activities are aligned with PPT Program execution components through which the program manages its funding and other resources. In-house core competencies augment the capabilities of technology developers and suppliers.
The entire process is iterative, so that the needs, capabilities, and programmatic accomplishments are constantly monitored and immediately shared. In this manner, these jointly developed program definition and execution efforts remain sensitive and responsive to changing circumstances.
