Grants and Contributions

The National Research Council (NRC) and the Natural Resource Canada (NRCan) aim to identify and promote cost-effective approaches for net-zero industrial processes that could include renewable energy integration, energy efficiency, electrification or other technologies that replace process heating requirements.

The project aims to explore and prepare for adaptation of advanced composite immersive technology for defence and civilian applications (dual use). The activities will assess the technical and operational relevance of modular immersive systems to defence sector requirements, better understand market and procurement process requirements, and identify robustness constraints, to deployment and certifications. The project will help strengthen the company’s innovation capabilities and prepare for a structured entry into defence markets in Canada and with allies.

The Centre for Innovation and Research in Advanced Manufacturing and Materials (CIRAMM) at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology is collaborating with the City of Calgary (City) to develop durable, low-carbon sidewalk concrete suited to Alberta’s climate.

The project aims to classify high-performance quantum codes by developing and evaluating a suite of benchmarks based on the arithmetic and memory operations required for cryptographic applications. These benchmarks will provide a systematic way to compare different quantum error-correcting codes in terms of their computational efficiency and practicality for large-scale use. By focusing on performance metrics relevant to cryptographic workloads, the project will identify which codes best balance qubit efficiency with computational capability. The outcomes will support informed decisions on the suitability of emerging quantum codes for real-world applications and guide future directions in quantum computing and security research.

The project strengthens Canada’s domestic capability in technical PPE design and production of protective equipment for remote, resource-constrained, & northern operating environments experienced in defence operations. The initiative supports supply chain resilience, operational readiness and Canada’s manufacturing.

The measurement of analyte concentration in aqueous media is typically performed by analytical laboratory methods, which are slow and costly. Applications such as indoor farming, including hydroponics, require a solution that can provide nutrient analyte measurements in real-time, on-site and in a cost-effective manner. Quantum materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) where the material is surface, combine quantum transport properties with sensitivity to surface chemistry ideally suited to sensing applications. Consequently, graphene and CNT sensors have enabled many improvements in sensor response. The Project is aimed at developing new concepts in graphene field effect transistor (FET) based sensors to simultaneously achieve the sensitivity, selectivity and stability required for applications such as controlled environment agriculture. This work leverages the expertise, experience and infrastructure of the applicants at McGill University, Université de Montréal, Cégep de SaintJérôme, and the NRC.

This project will evaluate and refine systems that deliver FireRein’s bio-based, PFAS-free fire suppressant technology for use on Canadian Coast Guard and Navy vessels. The work will confirm reliable performance under shipboard operating conditions and demonstrate the technology’s compatibility with existing suppression equipment, helping Canada transition to safer, sustainable firefighting methods while improving operational readiness.

This proposed travel to China, forms part of an R&D initiative to evaluate and de-risk the development of an advanced automated labelling and loading system intended to improve throughput, accuracy, and traceability within the Firm's custom cabinetry production workflow. The purpose of the visit is to conduct in-person technical assessments of candidate systems to determine whether they can be effectively customized and integrated into a highly variable, made-to-order manufacturing environment. Key objectives include evaluating machine architecture, software compatibility with existing CNC and scheduling systems, adaptability to non-standard cabinetry dimensions, and overall performance under simulate.

The purpose of this program 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.

The City of Woodstock’s Capital Plan investments in rolling stock will support the City's objectives to expand or introduce new routes to accommodate the growing population and upgrade rolling stock infrastructure, such as real-time bus tracking mobile applications, to provide a better user experience. Before using its Baseline allocation, the City of Woodstock plans to conduct a route study in 2025 to help shape the expansion of service, routes, and the overall system.
