Grants and Contributions

The Food Security and Climate Change in the Canadian North Initiative supports research focused on broadening our understanding of food security and climate change within the Canadian North and northern communities.

Research areas include but are not limited to:
• Climate change, climate adaptation, the environment and food systems
• Food sovereignty and food governance related to Indigenous Peoples as rights holders, climate change and food security
• Research and monitoring methodologies related to climate change and food security
• Health, wellness, and nutritional status related to climate change and food security
• Approaches, programs and policies to address food insecurity and climate change

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. After crushing, grinding, and flotation, purity reaches =97%. Micronization (6–20?µm) and spheroidization improve shape and performance but generate ~50% low-value fines. These are typically discarded. RAINCA and NGCBM aim to revalorize them into high-performance, battery-grade materials, supporting sustainable graphite use.

The Project Grant program is expected to:
• Support a diverse portfolio of health-related research and knowledge translation proposals at any stage, from discovery to application, including commercialization;
• Promote relevant collaborations across disciplines, professions, and sectors; and
• Contribute to the creation and use of health-related knowledge.

The CIHR Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health (CIHR-ICRH) has the broad mandate of supporting research on the heart, lung, brain (stroke), blood, blood vessels, critical and intensive care, and sleep.
This Priority Announcement is focused on conditions of the heart and of the circulatory system across the lifespan, including but not limited to data acquisition.
• The proposed research should inform the management of early risk factors, for cardiac and non-cardiac complications of cardiovascular conditions.
• Research focusing on more than one (1) developmental or intergenerational period over the lifespan is encouraged. Examples include, but are not limited to:
o one developmental period before and after age 18, or
o different developmental periods across generations (e.g. biological parent and fetus or offspring), or
o two (2) developmental periods in females related to puberty, child-bearing age and menopause.
• Sex and gender consideration should be integrated as appropriate.
For the purpose of this Priority Announcement:
• Conditions of the heart include inherited and acquired arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies, as well as congenital and acquired structural and valvular heart disease.
• Conditions of the circulatory system comprise hypertension and atherosclerosis including familial hypercholesterolemia, as well as neurovascular diseases.
