This funding stream is designed to address operational need and help answer key questions in occupational health and safety and workers' compensation. The Specific Priorities and Systematic Reviews grants support short-term, primary and secondary research of immediate relevance. This research gives us the strongest scientific evidence to use when developing policy and practice.

Researchers worldwide are invited to apply for most competitions. It will be noted in the Request for Proposals (RFP) if the Principal Applicant must be affiliated with a Canadian university or Canadian research institution.
