Often referred to as ergonomic injuries, MSDs impact the muscles, nerves, tendons, joints, cartilage, and spinal discs, and typically result from common workplace risk factors such as forceful exertions, awkward or static postures, and repetitive movements. When the work environment or job tasks cause, worsen, or extend these conditions, they are classified as work-related MSDs. According to the Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index, MSDs cost employers billions of dollars annually in lost productivity, worker compensation, absenteeism, presenteeism, turnover, and recruitment challenges. These disorders are also the leading causes of disability, involuntary retirement, and limitations to gainful employment. Moreover, low wage workers and communities of color disproportionately occupy jobs with greater MSD risk where they often have little control over their work environment. In addition to being a good business investment, MSD risk reduction efforts contribute to a more equitable workplace.  \nTo address this critical issue, the MSD Solutions Lab was established in 2021 as a strategic initiative with the goal of engaging key stakeholders, conducting research, identifying new technology, innovating solutions, and scaling the results so all workplaces can benefit. The lab operates under four pillars:  \n• Engage: Meaningfully engage employers, workers, researchers, and innovators.  \n• Research: Conduct impactful, practical research, analyze data, and disseminate insights across industries.  \n• Solve: Identify, pilot, scale, and promote unique solutions.  \n• Amplify: Create a global effort to engage operations and safety leaders across all industries.  \nThe lab has many activities across all four pillars, including the Research to Solutions (R2S) and MSD Solutions Pilot grants, which are key aspects of the Solve pillar. These grant programs are designed to increase collaboration among academic institutions, businesses, industries, and emerging technology providers to mitigate MSDs. The goal of the R2S grant program is to develop, evaluate, and/or disseminate effective solutions for MSDs, focusing on occupational injury risk reduction. The pilot grant program also aims to develop solutions for preventing MSDs by matching organizations with innovative technology providers to trial emerging technologies in real-life applications. The pilot grants are discussed in more detail in the accompanying pilot grant findings report.  \nMSD Solutions Lab Research to Solutions Grant Program Overview  \nFor the 2023 – 2024 R2S grant program, up to $75,000 was awarded to projects focusing on specific priority research areas:  \n• Emerging technologies for risk assessment and mitigation: Examples include, but are not limited to, leveraging computer vision, machine learning, natural language processing, smart sensors, exoskeletonsand exosuits, robotics (including collaborative and service), augmented/virtual and mixed reality, digital twins, and automation in addressing issues of musculoskeletal health and disorders.  \n• 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.  \n• Future of work: Examples include, but are not limited to, the role of non-traditional work (e.g., hybrid, work-from-anywhere, remote, and gig work), demographic shifts (aging, sex/gender, racial inequalities, obesity, and social determinants of musculoskeletal health and diso","cbCaiaeXFV9pbPDB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaeXFV9pbPDB","pdf",7293217,22,"English","# Introduction\n# MSD Solutions Lab Research to Solutions Grant Program Overview\n## Priority Research Areas for 2023-2024\n## Proposal Review Criteria","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the MSD Solutions Lab Research to Solutions (R2S) grant program?\",\"answer\":\"It develops, evaluates, and/or disseminates effective solutions for MSDs with a focus on occupational injury risk reduction.\"},{\"question\":\"Which priority research areas were targeted by the 2023–2024 R2S grants?\",\"answer\":\"The program prioritized emerging technologies for risk assessment and mitigation, legacy high-risk jobs or tasks, future of work, MSD management systems, and total worker wellbeing.\"},{\"question\":\"How were proposals evaluated under the R2S grant program?\",\"answer\":\"A review committee scored proposals based on scientific importance/relevance, research significance/field knowledge, approach quality, and the impact of the proposed work.\"}]","Research to Solutions - Findings from the MSD Solutions Lab Grant Program 2023-2024 | PDF",55]
