Who you are:

Academics, researchers, and data collectors from all institutions are welcome to partner with us and engage in research. 

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. As we have additional remaining funds this year, we are offering a second call for applications.

Of the four available grants, at least two will be awarded to projects that propose using data from the Northwestern Ontario Workplace & Worker Health Study (NOWWHS). 

The deadline for applications is November 27, 2024 at 4:30pm. Any EPID@Work staff who wish to apply should submit their application to Dr. Vicki Kristman for prior approval by November 13, 2024 at 4:30pm.

To apply, download the 2024 Seed Grant Application and Procedures and 2024 Seed Grant Application Form.
