Grants and Contributions

Canadian SKA Scientists pursue cutting-edge research which contributes to the advancement of our understanding of the universe through innovative instrumentation and technology and observational research. In addition, Canadian SKA Scientists support the Canadian astronomical community by developing, enhancing and maintaining the capacity to scientifically exploit SKA data.

As part of the international consortium project “Power-Oriented Natural Graphite for Advanced Battery Systems”, this project will demonstrate the potential of graphite process fines for battery use. Figure 1 (see on attached proposal) shows the NGAM production flow for LIB anodes, starting with mining and beneficiation to extract flake graphite.

Capital BioVentures will remove barriers for Life Science start-ups and increase their likelihood for commercialization in Canada by providing expert advice from biotech professionals.

Elemental Trucks is developing a next-gen hydrogen fuel cell Class 8 truck with superior performance and cost efficiency. Key innovations include a new chassis design, improved fuel cell and battery integration, AI-driven energy management, hybrid powertrains, and optimized thermal management. Designed in Canada, our truck targets a $7–10B domestic market, leveraging strong policy support and top-tier talent. Ideal for heavy-haul, urban, and cold chain fleets, it offers long range, fast refueling, high payload capacity, and zero emissions. By 2030, our trucks aim to reach TCO parity with diesel.

The NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships-Doctoral Program (PGS D) provides financial support to high calibre scholars who are engaged in a doctoral program in the natural sciences or engineering. This support allows these scholars to fully concentrate on their studies and seek out the best research mentors in their chosen fields.

The Canada Graduate Scholarships – Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplements (CGS-MSFSS) Program supports high-calibre Canadian graduate students in building global linkages and international networks through the pursuit of exceptional research experiences at research institutions abroad. By accessing international scientific research and training, CGS-MSFSS recipients will contribute to strengthening the potential for collaboration between Canadian and foreign institutions.
