Today’s issue of WorkCompRecap features the National Safety Council’s recent announcement that it has awarded nearly $275,000 through its recently launched Research to Solutions (R2S) grant and MSD Solutions Pilot Grant 1.0 programs.
The grant funds will help nine leading organizations advance promising new safety technologies that may reduce instances of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, or MSDs. For the inaugural 2023-2024 grant cycle, NSC called upon R2S applicants to support one or more key research areas, including: emerging technologies, solutions to jobs or tasks known to have high MSD risk, MSD management systems, future of work, and total worker wellbeing.
