Research Project

The project 'Policy and Practice in Return-to-Work after a Work Injury' was led by Professor Katherine Lippel. Sadly, Katherine left us too soon in September 2021. Despite her departure, several researchers joined forces to ensure that this project could move forward and bear fruit.
