We provide funding for occupational health and safety academic study and practical, innovative projects through four different grant streams.

Our Research Grants Program consists of the following funding streams:

• Research Training Awards: Supporting graduate students at the master’s and doctoral level, with a focus on occupational health and safety
• Ralph McGinn Postdoctoral Fellowship: Supporting doctoral graduates training for careers as academic researchers
• Innovation: Supporting Canadian researchers to bring novel occupational health and safety ideas to reality
  • Applied Innovation: Supporting research projects leading to practical solutions in the workplace
    • Proof of Principle and Prototyping: A funding stream within Applied Innovation that supports early-stage tools and technology projects that solve practical workplace problems
  • Exploratory Research: Supporting the exploration of occupational health and safety and work disability challenges through a new lens, bringing together non-traditional disciplines to create bold and lasting effects
• Specific Priorities/Systematic Reviews: Supporting research of immediate relevance that addresses key questions in occupational health and safety
