The Occupational Cancer Research Centre (OCRC) was established to fill gaps in our knowledge of work-related cancers and to translate these findings into preventive programs to control exposures and improve the health of workers.

It is funded primarily by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, with additional funds from Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, Ontario Health and external research grant programs.
