WorkSafe BC issues request for proposals 2015: Innovation at Work

Request for Proposals 2015
Innovation at Work

WorkSafeBC is pleased to issue a Request for Proposals for Innovation at Work, in partnership with the Workers’ Compensation Board of Manitoba; WorkSafe Saskatchewan; the Workers’ Compensation Board of Nova Scotia; Alberta Job, Skills, Training and Labour Department; and WorkSafeNB.

WorkSafeBC is dedicated to achieving a vision of workers and workplaces safe and secure from injury, illness, and disease. To achieve this vision, WorkSafeBC, together with its partners, must encourage and support the development and use of the best scientific evidence on issues that workers, employers, and the organization itself face in seeking to prevent injury and illness, to return injured workers to health and to work, and to provide fair compensation.

To this end, WorkSafeBC offers research grants under Innovation at Work. Grants are made available to a broad group of applicants (including workplace parties, unions, employer organizations, and educators). These grants are intended to support research for the development of new knowledge and/or practical problem-solving at the workplace level. Principal applicants must be Canadian residents.

Notice of intent deadline: September 14, 2015

Application deadline: November 2, 2015
