The results of the study--commissioned by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)--will help shape research and development on a number of fronts. RAND will work with NIOSH and its new National Personal Protective Technology Laboratory to incorporate this and other information into a 'road map' for future R&D.
