## Grant Opportunities Spark Innovation in Injury Reduction The Research to Solutions (R2S) grant and MSD Solutions Pilot grant debuted in 2023. Since then, the MSD Solutions Lab has brought back these pioneering grant programs year after year to uncover promising new safety solutions to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders, or MSDs.
### Research to Solutions Grant (R2S) The goal of the R2S grant is to develop, evaluate and/or disseminate effective solutions for MSDs, focusing on occupational injury risk reduction. The R2S grant awards up to $50,000 per approved research project and typically funds four grants each year.
It invites academic institutions, businesses and industries to innovate new solutions for MSDs that can be seamlessly integrated across a range of sectors and workplaces.
Key research areas R2S grants have supported in the past include: ● Emerging technologies for risk assessment and mitigation ● Ergonomic interventions for legacy MSD high-risk jobs or tasks ● Advancing non-physical risk assessment and mitigation #### Active 2025-2026 R2S Grant Projects: ●**University of Waterloo**is using innovative MSD risk assessment tools to better leverage data from emerging technologies ●**Auburn University**is testing a new plant-layout organizational tool for MSD control and mitigation ●**Texas Tech University**is assessing 3D printed head and neck rests for reduced discomfort during overhead work ●**George Mason University**is developing smartphone computer vision technology for real-time movement assessment to prevent MSDs in emergency responders ## MSD Solutions Pilot Grant The goal of the pilot grant program is to provide organizations the opportunity to pilot solutions for preventing MSDs by matching organizations with innovative technology providers to trial emerging technologies in real-life applications.
Organizations are invited to submit proposals to partner with any of these providers to reduce MSDs caused by forceful exertions, repetitive motions or awkward postures across any workplace. These grants award up to $20,000 per approved project, and typically five grants are funded each year. Organizations interested in applying for pilot grants need to be or become members of theMSD Pledge.
