The WSIB is now accepting proposals for the 2022 Research and Grants Competition!

Initial proposal deadline: Friday, October 15, 2021

The WSIB Research and Grants Program aims to enhance workers’ compensation system outcomes by supporting innovative proposals that align to the WSIB's strategic mandate. The proposals funded through the program will help to strengthen Ontario's workers' compensation system and deliver on our priority of making Ontario a safer place to work.

Research Priorities

The 2022 WSIB Research and Grants Program will focus on research that can help make Ontario the safest place to work. Three considerations for the competition include:

1)            How we work

2)            How we approach health and safety

3)            How we support return-to-work and recovery

The Research and Grants Program is committed to supporting the WSIB’s strategic priority of being financially responsible and accountable through the operating practices of the program on an ongoing basis.

Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that align to the topics of interest identified. Highly practical research and training proposals aligned to the three primary considerations are also accepted.
