The objective of the WSIB Research and Grants Program is to enhance workplace injury and illness insurance system outcomes by supporting innovative proposals that help advance our strategic mandate.

The program accomplishes this through highly practical research and training studies delivered by professionals and organizations that can strengthen Ontario's workers' compensation system now and in the future. 

Systematic review grants support research issues of immediate relevance to occupational health and safety, and may help to answer key questions in workers' compensation. Outcomes from systematic reviews may be considered by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) to determine whether the scientific evidence meets the recommended standards for scheduling and/or policy development, or for adjudicative support for case-by-case decision-making.

The WSIB is now accepting proposals for the WSIB Systematic Review - Medical Cannabis. 

Please carefully review the specific requirements in the proposal instructions and other relevant information that are available on the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) website. The instructions include important information about submitting a proposal to the WSIB Research and Grants Program.
