Overview

Effective interventions for reducing work-related psychosocial risk in small and medium-sized enterprises

The Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) and WorkSafe New Zealand (WorkSafe) have formed a funding initiative to support high-quality research and advance the strategic objectives of both organisations.

The funding partners are seeking to fund research in the following areas:
• A literature review (such as a systematic review or meta-analysis) that will identify effective interventions for reducing work-related psychosocial risk for the most prevalent psychosocial health problems (stress, anxiety and depression).
• A project that will implement and evaluate innovative interventions for reducing work-related psychosocial risk for the most prevalent psychosocial health problems in a number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

A total funding pool of $1.6 million (exclusive of GST) is available for allocation. The maximum value of a literature review is $400,000 (fully costed, exclusive of GST) over a maximum duration of two years. The maximum value of a project is $1,200,000 (fully costed, exclusive of GST) over a maximum duration of three years.

Applications to this RFP will be submitted via a one-stage process. Applicants are firstly required to submit a Registration via HRC Gateway (the HRC’s online application system). Registrations are due by 1pm, 12 March 2019. The full application will need to be submitted via HRC Gateway by 1pm, 9 April 2019.
