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. The WSIB is now accepting proposals for a systematic review about the use of medical cannabis for the treatment of work-related health conditions. The WSIB is seeking to fund one new award for a systematic review that specifically aims to evaluate: evidence on therapeutic use, evidence on class of cannabis and evidence regarding risks, adverse events or harms associated with the therapeutic use of medical cannabis. |

Application Details: |
Grant proposals fall into two major categories: research grants and training grants. Both proposal types must be highly practical, delivered by leading experts and demonstrate significant potential to improve outcomes for workers, employers or the broader compensation system. Register your profile in our new grant management system and apply to the 2025 grants competition. Carefully review the instructions under the WSIB Systematic Review - Medical Cannabis program.
