Grants and Contributions

This grant supports free and pay-what-you-can science and nature exploration programs for girls and under represented genders (girls+) from the Maritimes. The program is led exclusively by women+ in science and designed to encourage disadvantaged and under-represented girls+ to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers and become environmental leaders in their own communities.

This grant supports the recipient to organize and present cultural teaching sessions in and around Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

The project aims to develop a Building Information Modeling (BIM)-based LCIA framework to assess and compare the environmental impacts of various strategies for residential buildings in Canada. Focusing on National Building Code (NBC) Part 9 small residential buildings (single and multi-units), it will establish economic analysis methods for cost and time impacts, identify tools for calculating GHG, carbon, water, and embodied energy impacts, and determine data-source gaps to adapt these tools to Canadian economic regions. Using BIM models, the project will set benchmarks and evaluate both off-site and conventional construction solutions over multiple life cycles of materials and building systems. This approach will ensure comprehensive comparisons of emerging construction options, guiding future investments and policy for scalable and low-carbon residential building practices in Canada.

The project involves building tools and algorithms used to improve the efficiency of CNC machining during the prototyping stages.

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to nurture the interest of the students and fully develop their potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies in these fields. Students who would like to gain research experience in an academic setting, these awards can provide financial support through the hosting university. NSERC encourages qualified Aboriginal students to apply to this program.

Through this 19-month systemic change project, Information and Communication Technology Council of Canada (ICTC) will scale the ''Advancing Women's Leadership in Canada's Digital Economy'' project to advance women’s representation in leadership and decision-making roles in Canada’s emerging technology sectors, focusing on cleantech, health, biotech, agri-foods and manufacturing. This project will be scaled to new locations in British-Columbia, Alberta, MB, Ontario and QC in order to address the systemic barriers faced by women and marginalized groups in accessing managerial, executive and board positions within small and medium-sized private and not-for-profit organizations. To achieve this, ICTC will undertake research on targeted populations to adjust its approach, training and tools. It will engage organizations supporting women and gender diverse people in the project, organize focus groups, workshops and webinars, and provide resources and mentoring opportunities for women through its Online Gender Equity Centre. The project will culminate in a roundtable discussion aimed at developing effective and sustainable strategies for accessing senior management positions.
