Grants and Contributions

Strengthening the political and advocacy capacities of women leaders from 6 communities of the Adjacency Zone and the urban area of Melchor de Mencos, Petén, Guatemala.

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.

This grant supports the Manitoba Metis Federation for costs associated for two individuals from the community to travel to Churchill to assist with the maintenance of the trail cameras and acquire new skills.

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 purpose of this project is to improve the knowledge and understanding of systemic barriers and drivers for adaptation in Canadian communities and to support communities to leverage drivers and overcome barriers

The purpose of this project is to develop and share guidance, research, and/or case studies on how to incorporate considerations about climate risks and adaptation into energy and mining operations, particularly at the stage of site closure and reclamation.

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.
