Grants and Contributions

To invest in advanced machining technology and automation to scale production for aerospace and thin-wall tooling markets, develop proprietary manufacturing processes, and expand into sectors.

To support the federal government’s commitment to maintain a strong and effective publicly funded health care system through investments in emerging and demonstrated innovations in priority areas, such as palliative and end-of-life care, home and community care, mental health care and other federal, provincial-territorial and emerging priorities.

The Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are seeking innovative forecasting models that leverage the power of publicly available information, statistical methods, and machine learning models to assist DND with forecasting flashpoints and emerging threats around the world.

This framework will include best practices, guidelines and advanced technologies, including advanced machine learning techniques for anomaly detection and secure data sharing.

This grant supports the implementation of the Unama’ki Resource Management Program on Cape Breton Island which includes stewardship practices related to natural resource management, elder and youth projects, learning opportunities, collaboration and relationship building with key partners and stakeholders.

This project will observe the thermal emission of TOI-849 b, one of the most intriguing sub Neptunes, with JWST. Because of its large mass and its high temperature, TOI-849b is an ultra-dense and ultra-hot sub-Neptune which is thought to be the exposed remnant core of a giant planet, akin to the deep interior of our own Jupiter but without the extended hydrogen atmosphere. These observations will characterize the composition and structure of the planet and reveal key insights into its nature and evolution. This will represent a major step for sub-Neptune and planet formation science by giving a previously unobtainable direct look at a planetary core of a giant planet, enabling abundance and temperature structure measurements.

This project will observe the mid-IR thermal emission of the recently discovered cool exo-Earth LP 791-18d to determine whether an atmosphere is present or not. LP 791- 18d orbits a nearby M6 dwarf and is proposed to be volcanically active due to strong tidal heating of its interior, similar to Jupiter's moon Io. The volcanic activity would result in continuous replenishment of LP 791-18d's atmosphere, which our observations will probe for. The presence of an atmosphere on LP 791-18d would be a first signal that cool rocky planet around M dwarf can host atmospheres, motivating a larger campaign to probe the prevalence and diversity of secondary atmospheres.

The project will combine U-band imaging from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) with Euclid, Subaru, and Spitzer data in the Euclid Deep Field North to produce photometric catalogs of millions of galaxies over an unprecedented combination of area (10 sq deg) and depth (27 mag). The U-band data we will add to this dataset is key for accurate photometric redshifts and measuring rates of star formation in galaxies. The joint catalogs will open a large field of science areas for investigation; in particular, the team will study how the fates of millions of galaxies are governed by their locations within the filamentary, Universe-pervading Cosmic Web. The catalogs will contain millions of galaxies and will be made public enabling a vast array of research and a legacy treasure-trove.

This project aims to improve the economic empowerment of 25,200 marginalized youth, including 15,120 adolescent girls and young women, in Rwanda, Somalia and Tanzania by providing skills development and Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) through the Building leadership, Opportunities and options for marginalized women and girls (BLOOM) Africa initiative. BLOOM Africa is implemented through a multifaceted approach to address issues across individual, community, and systemic levels. At the individual level, the project supports empowering marginalized adolescent girls and young women to develop skills, advocate for their rights to skills development and access economic opportunities, overcome barriers and promote safe work environments. At the community level, the project promotes social and behavior change to support equitable community structures, challenge traditional gender norms, and address discriminatory practices and power imbalances. At the systemic level, it aims to create compreh
