Innovation
Our Innovation funding stream supports research ideas that may lead to innovative solutions and knowledge creation for problems related to occupational health and safety and work disability. The Innovation funding stream currently consists of three funding opportunities.
- Applied Innovation: Supporting small-scale, shop-floor research projects that lead to innovative and practical solutions that can be implemented in workplaces
- Proof of Principle and Prototyping: Supporting early-stage prototypes, tools, and technology that can be used in workplaces to solve occupational health and safety problems
- Exploratory Research: Supporting high-risk/high-reward projects that explore novel ideas and solutions with transformational and lasting effects across workplaces in Canada

Applied Innovation
Applied Innovation grants support small-scale, shop-floor research projects that lead to the development of practical knowledge and solutions that can be implemented in the workplace. The intent of this funding stream is to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application of solutions and interventions that can make a real difference in workplaces.
Applied Innovation supports research that builds on existing knowledge and technologies and applies them in innovative ways. Typically, the outcomes from projects in this stream include novel programs, procedures, frameworks, or methodologies that can be used to address a health and safety or work disability problem. Research activities may include administering surveys, running focus groups, assessing risks in the workplace, developing programs and procedures, and impact assessments.
Proof of Principle and Prototyping
Proof of Principle and Prototyping is dedicated to research that may lead to novel tools and technology that can be used in workplaces to improve health and safety or work disability. A Proof of Principle and Prototyping project must be in the early stages of development—it may include proof of principle or concept; analytic or laboratory studies; or validation of concepts, tools, and technology.
Projects should not be so advanced that the tool or technology is ready for commercialization. The Government of Canada’s Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) scale is used to determine the maturity level of a technology. TRLs are based on a scale from 1 to 9, with 9 being the most technologically mature. Proof of Principle and Prototyping projects must fit within levels 1 to 6 of the TRLs.
The outcomes from projects in this stream typically include mobile applications, gadgets, prototype tools, software, or novel processes. Examples of research activities include developing, refining, and implementing designs; verifying application; conducting field studies; preparing demonstrations; building prototypes; performing beta testing; piloting a new process amongst workers; and conducting efficacy or safety trials.
Exploratory Research
Exploratory Research is a new funding stream within Innovation supporting exploration of occupational health and safety and work disability challenges through a new lens, bringing together non-traditional disciplines and interdisciplinary teams of researchers, workers, and employers to create bold and lasting effects. This stream is meant for high-risk/high-reward research that investigates new areas of scientific inquiry and challenges current paradigms.
Funding under this stream is intended for early-stage projects that have potential to disrupt conventional thinking and lead to significant advancements or breakthroughs. The outcomes from this stream are not restricted to any specific type of intervention and could include a novel tool, technology, program, or method that revolutionizes how a particular occupational health and safety or work disability problem is currently viewed and addressed.
Who can apply
