How we can help:

EPID@Work Research Institute is committed to the conduct of high-quality, transdisciplinary research in the areas of workplace injury and disability prevention. Apply for an EPID Seed Grant, collaborate on a project, or contact us today to see how you can work with us!

Check out some of our existing publications and projects to see the research we have undertaken at EPID@Work Research Institute. 

The goal of EPID@Work's Seed Grant program is to attract new and established scholars to conduct research addressing our mandate: to bring people together to reduce impacts of work-related injury and work disability through collaborative applied research. 

This year, we have funds to support 2 applications. Preference will be given to applications that prioritize engaging community stakeholders as a key aspect of their project.

The deadline for applications is July 31st, 2026 at 4:30pm to Dr. Kathy Sanderson via kjsander@lakeheadu.ca
