BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

Research at Work offers two types of grants — operating grants and development grants. These grants are available to professional researchers for research projects that are scientifically valid, relate to one or more of WorkSafeBC’s research priorities, and/or our partners’ research priorities, and demonstrate strong potential to positively impact workplace health and safety and/or the workers’ compensation system in B.C. in our respective jurisdictions. Development grants provide funding of up to $30,000 per project to allow investigators to pursue research projects, within the areas defined by WorkSafeBC’s research priorities and/or our partners’ research priorities, which may not be developed to a stage that would make them eligible for full funding through our operating grant competition. The expectation is that ideas explored through these projects may lead to development of proposals for operating grants. Development grants are awarded for a maximum duration of one year.
