Applications for the Occupational Health Research Award 2022 are now closed and we’ll be announcing the winner soon.

Use this checklist as a guide for what you’ll need to have ready when you apply online for the Occupational Health Research Award 2022. We recommend preparing your answers, using a Word document, before you apply. The application form will need to be completed in one sitting and won’t save your answers as you go.

We invite applications from those in UK-based organisations. We’re keen to hear great ideas from researchers at UK-based organisations that are going to:

• make a significant difference to the occupational health of construction workers
• help tackle occupational health issues in construction
• help make an important scientific contribution to the construction industry.

To apply, you should be part of a non-governmental research organisation – for example:

• charities with a focus on occupational health
• occupational health practitioners
• accredited research organisations.

If you’re not 1 of the above, you can still apply by partnering with an organisation that is.
