Research

The WCB supports research projects that contribute to the prevention and reduction of workplace injury and illness.  Through a partnership model, Nova Scotia has joined with the Boards of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Newfoundland & Labrador and British Columbia, in the BC Research Secretariat’s Focus on Tomorrow research program. 

This path to workplace health, safety and injury prevention research offers enriched financial and research support opportunities to Nova Scotia applicants and researchers; and the potential for improved outcomes for Nova Scotia workers. A broad range of activities related to occupational health, safety and injury prevention are eligible for support through the research grant program.

For more information about the research program, please contact Tracey Leary at 902-491-8109.  To submit an application, access guidelines and forms, visit the Focus on Tomorrow program.
