Funding streams
Research at Work
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 our respective jurisdictions.Innovation at Work
Innovation at Work supports the development of practical, shop-floor solutions that translate new knowledge into practice, or that solve specific problems in workplaces. It is intended to provide funding for small-scale projects that will promote increased interaction amongst workplace parties, organizations, and/or researchers. Anyone is eligible to apply — the experience and capability of the project team will be a primary consideration.
