Develop, plan, and prepare for technical challenge and NATO DIANA accelerator

To meet Canada’s yearly assessed contributions to the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies.

The overarching goal (purpose) is to support enhancements in marine safety and marine environmental protection in Canadian waters, while embracing the concepts of co-development and sustainable economic development.

The overarching goal (purpose) 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 objectives are to enhance the capacity and facilitate the participation of partners and stakeholders in support of marine safety and marine environmental protection.

Applicants with a design for a remote healthcare technology concept were invited to apply to the Challenge. After competing in Stage 2 of the Challenge as a semi-finalist, and Stage 3 of the Challenge as a finalist, the recipient was selected as the grand prize winner for a $500,000 cash prize.

Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.

This project will map the distribution of dark matter around 16 massive galaxies when the Universe was only 1-2 billion years old. This will be accomplished by constructing robust mass models to account for the observed rotation curves tracing the gravitational influence exerted by the total (luminous and dark) matter distributions. This project will provide key clues on the nature of dark matter by tracing dark matter halos at a cosmic epoch that has been out of reach until now.

This project will conduct a survey proposal of 249 white dwarf stars within 25 parsecs of the sun in order to constrain the flux distributions of a large number of white dwarfs in the mid-infrared. The goal is to detect infrared excesses from cool brown dwarfs, young Jupiters, optically thin dust disks from shredding exo-planetesimals, and cyclotron emission from magnetic white dwarfs. These detections will define white dwarf science (and other fields) with JWST.

Spectral variability of brown dwarfs holds the key to understanding their atmospheric properties. This project aims to determine the mechanism that produces brown dwarf variability and determine what drives the variability (evolving clouds, dynamical chemistry, both?).

To begin to unravel the formation history of massive galaxies, this pilot project will provide a first comprehensive view towards a target nearly four billion light years away. The target, situated in the core of a galaxy cluster, is forming stars at an unusually high rate while harbouring one of the largest known molecular gas reservoirs in a cluster core. This project will shed light on the growth of the target massive galaxy by examining the physical conditions of the gas fueling its star formation.
