Introduction

The National Safety Council (NSC) MSD Solutions Lab is pleased to announce the Research to Solutions (R2S) grant for the year 2026-2027. The goal of the R2S grant is to develop, evaluate and/or disseminate effective solutions for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), focusing on occupational injury risk reduction. 

The MSD Solutions Lab will award up to $200,000 in total for its R2S Grant Program in 2026. Project budgets up to $50,000 in total costs will be considered. The indirect rate will be capped at 10%, and applications with less than the maximum budget of $50,000 are encouraged. Projects are limited to no more than one year.  

R2S grants are intended to inspire collaboration among academic institutions, businesses and industries to uncover promising, transferable solutions that mitigate injury risk across a range of other industry sectors.  

It should be noted that previous R2S grant recipients will not be considered for the 2026-2027 grant cycle.

For the 2026-2027 grant cycle, specific priority research areas are as follows: 

• Advancing non-physical risk assessment and mitigation: Examples include, but are not limited to, the development and cross-cultural validation of non-physical risk assessment tools/instruments applicable across various industries. A key focus should be on integrating psychosocial, organizational, and behavioral assessments into broader organizational safety systems for achieving comprehensive MSD risk mitigation. 
• Emerging technologies for risk assessment and mitigation: Examples include, but are not limited to, leveraging computer vision, machine learning, natural language processing, smart sensors, exoskeletons and exosuits, robotics (including collaborative and service), augmented/virtual and mixed reality, digital twins, and automation in addressing issues of musculoskeletal health and disorders. 
• Legacy MSD high-risk jobs or tasks: Examples include, but are not limited to, solutions to jobs or tasks known to have high MSD risk but for which there is insufficient evidence regarding methods to sufficiently mitigate the risk. These can come from any industry sector, including health care and social assistance; retail trade; manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; and construction.
