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 B.C. in our respective jurisdictions.
Operating grants
An operating grant is for fully developed research proposals. Operating grants provide support for research projects led by an individual or small group of investigators, and that address one or more of WorkSafeBC's research priorities and/or our partners' research priorities. Operating grants do not have a funding cap per project, and may be awarded for a maximum duration of two years.
Development grants
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.
The Research at Work funding stream closed its 2008 competition on February 18. Twenty-two applications were received. Find out more about the 2008 competitions.
