Grants and Contributions

The purpose of the Canadian International Innovation Program (CIIP) grant agreement is to support Canadian SMEs identify international partners in CIIP target countries for industrial research and development collaboration that has good potential for commercialization.

The Sustainable Land Fund 2 (SLF 2) is a targeted EUR 350 million impact investment fund supporting projects in sustainable agriculture and forestry globally.

This program is an integral component of the AFS and facilitates the voluntary retirement of commercial licences and the issuance of licences to eligible Aboriginal groups in a manner that does not add to the existing fishing effort, thereby providing Aboriginal groups with much-needed employment and income.

The purpose of the Indigenous Habitat Participation Program- Grant Funding is to meet the legal obligations to support the participation of Indigenous communities in consultations on Departmental Crown conduct (i.e., decisions, such as arrangements, approvals, authorizations and permits) under the Fisheries Act and/or Species at Risk Act.

The purpose of the Indigenous Habitat Participation Program and the Salish Sea Initiative, is to support the participation of Indigenous peoples in activities relating to the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat, including the development of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) policies, program elements and regulations and the development of their technical capacity to support greater involvement in the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat.

The purpose of this program is to support enhancements in marine safety and marine environmental protection in Canadian waters, while embracing the concepts of codevelopment and sustainable economic development.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will observe the planetary nebula Tc 1, known for its abundance of fullerenes, a type of carbon molecule shaped like a soccer ball. These observations aim to understand the nebula’s unique composition and the role of fullerenes in space. The analysis will determine the types and amounts of elements and molecules in Tc 1. This will help in understanding how fullerenes form and survive in space. The results will provide insights into the lifecycle of stars and the physical and chemical processes in the universe, and the role of large carbonaceous molecules in the evolution of stars and planets.

This investigation will analyze the infrared spectra (JWST/NIRSpec and JWST/MIRI-MRS) of seven carbon-rich stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds that represent different stages in the evolution from red giants to planetary nebulae. Their spectra exhibit a variety of features from simple species (like acetylene, C2H2) to more complex chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This investigation will exploit the unprecedented combination of spectral resolution, wavelength coverage, and sensitivity offered by NIRSpec and the MRS to explore the chemistry of complex hydrocarbons as carbon stars evolve into planetary nebulae. The resulting spectra will sample the gas and dust at different stages of evolution as carbon-rich objects seed their host galaxies with fresh dust.
