Description: |
We're committed to providing exceptional programs and services to the people and businesses of Ontario. The objective of the WSIB Grants Program is to enhance workers' compensation system outcomes by supporting innovative proposals that are aligned to our strategic mandate. The program accomplishes this through highly practical, expert research studies and training initiatives delivered by professional individuals and organizations that address current and emerging challenges, and strengthen Ontario's workers' compensation system now and in the future. are now accepting research proposals for a longitudinal study on long-term outcomes for people with workplace injuries and illnesses as part of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board?s (WSIB) 2018 Grants Program. Longitudinal research will help us understand the long-term outcomes affecting people with work-related injuries and illnesses after they no longer have an active claim with us. Supporting long-term safe and healthy recoveries and returns to work is what we work toward every day at the WSIB.
While the WSIB collects data regarding the proportion of people who return to work within 12 months, this is the first time we are funding a study that will produce data on what happens over the longer term. This study will examine return-to-work outcomes for people following a lost time injury and/or illness two years after the resolution of their claim. |
