The Research Institute’s longest established collaborative relationship is with the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), The Liberty Mutual-Harvard School of Public Health Program facilitates interchange of faculty, students, and technology between the two organizations. Early milestones included successful pilot projects, symposia, and conferences. More recently, the program has focused on joint research with successful outcomes including major analytic studies on upper extremity trauma and slips, trips, and falls.
The program has led to an expansion of the School's graduate curriculum through the introduction of new degree programs in Ergonomics, Safety Science, and Occupational Injury Prevention (Epidemiology). In 1998, the Research Institute began to host post-doctoral fellows in collaboration with the HSPH on an ad hoc basis. These inaugural positions helped to establish the framework of a formal post-doctoral program in the Department of Environmental Health which began in 2007. This program is now the principal focus of joint original research.
