The WSIB Research and Grants Program aims to enhance workplace injury and illness insurance system outcomes by supporting innovative proposals that help advance our 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 2023 Research and Grants Program will focus on research that can help make Ontario the safest place to work. Four 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

4)       How we meet our customers’ expectations

The Research and Grants Program is committed to supporting the WSIB’s strategic priority of effective management 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 four primary considerations are also accepted.
