To better address and streamline research and standards issues and discussions, the Information Resources & Performance Measures and Accident Prevention and Safety, Benefit Adequacy & Cost Containment committees have been combined to create a new Research & Standards committee.

The Research and Standards Committee exists to:
- Identify objective, accurate and comparable approaches to working with data from multiple jurisdictions
- Provide tools, information and research that helps jurisdictions identify best practices in the fields of occupational health, medicine, disability management, indemnity benefits and rehabilitation
- Establish benchmarks that gauge progress towards the goals of effective workers' compensation systems
- Periodically survey and compile information that allows meaningful comparison of workers' compensation systems so that jurisdictions are able to evaluate their own system performance in relation to other jurisdictions.
