the wsib is now accepting proposals for the 2025 research and grants competition!

initial proposal deadline: friday, october 11, 2024

the wsib’s 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.

research priorities

the wsib’s 2025 research and grants program will focus on applied research that can help make ontario the safest place to work. three considerations for the competition include:

1)            how we work

2)            how we approach health and safety

3)            how we support return-to-work and recovery

the research and grants program is committed to supporting the wsib’s strategic priority of effective management through the operating practices of the program on an ongoing basis.

applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that align to the topics of interest identified in the research and grants agenda. highly practical research and training proposals aligned to the four primary considerations are also accepted.

*note: we are using a new grant management system for our application process this year. for more information about the program and how to register for the grant management system, please visit our website.
