Grants and Contributions

The objective of this project is to develop a novel, low-cost, bio-produced technology that targets the microorganisms responsible for poultry coccidiosis and necrotic enteritis while reducing wasted input costs, the spread of antimicrobial resistance and environmental contamination by antimicrobials.

The objective of this project is to diversify the use of maple syrup products by accessing new markets and increasing exports of new products while creating a value chain for the extraction of dietary fibre from agri-food industry waste using technologies that can bring economic benefits to various agricultural and agri-food sectors.

The objective of this project aims to improve on traditional sampling methodologies by comparing grab and composite sampling approaches, using a rainfall-activated sampling device, and sampling sediments and biofilms.

This building will have an area of 2,025 sq.ft. with space allocated to offices, board room, kitchenette, washrooms, janitorial and storage. The goal of this project is to provide offices for new and existing Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KitIA) employees engaged in front line service and program delivery.

The design and construction rebuild of the damaged, Amaulik Hotel including a restaurant to meet the needs of the community and travelers. The Coop will convert its existing eight-room hotel and rental space, into a new fourteen-room hotel and restaurant.

A project to renovate an unused Hamlet asset and convert the building into a youth and elders community centre.

This project will provide vital vaccines and therapies to Canadians by constructing a state-of-the-art biomanufacturing facility to close an existing gap in domestic production.

There is currently a bottleneck in getting scientific and imagery data back to Earth from the Moon due to constraints in RF link capacity, itself dictated by the limited Size, Weight And Power (SWAP) of lunar landers. Optical links could provide two to three orders of magnitude higher bandwidth at reduced SWAP but require resilient designs to cope with the Moon’s rugged environment.

The BOLD project objective is to advance the Technology Readiness Level of optical lasercom terminals by validating the technology in Moon simulated environment to be used on lander platforms on the Moon surface. The BOLD technology would provide nominally 50 Mb/s, with peaks at up to 100 Mb/s, of data capacity representing a thousand-fold increase in data link capacity. It will allow satellite communication technologies developed for low earth orbit to reach the lunar surface and enable high-speed Internet communication directly from the Moon surface back to Earth.

This project seeks to decrease maternal morbidity and mortality in the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan by increasing women’s access to gender-responsive, quality care as well as their ability to advocate for their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Activities include: conducting gender-sensitive public consultations in each country context to understand the incidence levels, experiences and causes of disrespectful and respectful maternal care; engaging health centre workers in targeted facilities to improve the quality of care through quality improvement campaigns, low-dose/high-frequency training, and by establishing centres of innovation; and undertaking national-level awareness raising by professional midwifery associations through events, media, and government engagement activities. This project will directly reach 1,100 women and girls of childbearing age in selected communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo and 700 women and girls in South Sudan.

Project activities include: (1) the provision of short-term (up to 8 months) scholarships for study/research for ASEAN students in Canadian post-secondary academic institutions in areas of study that are aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals; (2) the creation of institutional agreements between Canadian and ASEAN post-secondary academic institutions; (3) the provision of short-term scholarships for ASEAN mid-career professionals working in sectors that contribute to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to enhance their knowledge and skills in their area of work; and (4) the creation of an alumni network.
