Research programme

Health and safety in a changing world: our research programme sets out to explore the landscape of occupational safety and health and its implications for developing solutions that provide effective protection for workers and their communities and support economic success.

Sorry, the research programme call for bids is now closed. We allocate research funds after a one-stage application process and expect the next funding opportunity will be in 2012/13.

Who can apply?

Researchers who have a proven track record in high quality research can apply for funding. Applicants don't need to have a background in occupational safety and health research but should be able to demonstrate how their experience will bring fresh thinking to the development of occupational safety and health policy and practice. They should also have the research and project management skills to lead a successful proposal to completion.
