Overview
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.
The 2024 Research and Grants Program will focus on research that can help make Ontario the safest place to work. Four considerations for the competition include:
- how we work
- how we approach health and safety
- how we support return-to-work and recovery
