The British Occupational Health Research Foundation (BOHRF) is a non-profit making, grant-awarding charity, established in 1991 to contribute to the best possible physical and mental well-being of employees. Their mission:
Bringing employers and researchers together to produce robust science and evidence based work of practical value whose application will contribute to the right of people at work to be 'healthy, motivated and at work'.
Their strategy is to concentrate in high quality, high impact projects which will have maximum positive effects for as many workers as possible.
