Grants and Contributions

The project will aim to improve the living conditions and food security of 10,000 persons living in the dry corridor of El Salvador, by promoting the participation and empowerment of rural women and youth, with a focus on nutrition, climate change adaptation, and management of water-forest-soil resources.

This project will aim to strengthen food security and climate resilience, with a nutrition-sensitive approach that considers adaptation to climate change, good management and conservation of water-forest-soil resources; promote the participation and economic empowerment of rural women and youth and address inequality in access to safe and nutritious food for healthy diets; and implement mechanisms and drought contingency plans as well as anticipatory actions based on drought forecasts in selected municipalities of the Dry Corridor.

This project will seek to learn from and engage with the gendered space of insider mediation in nonviolent socio-political movements, to improve their effective contribution to conflict transformation.

This project seeks to create the enabling conditions to encourage target countries in Latin America (Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico) to adopt and invest in climate-relevant Nature-Based Solutions (NBS).

Contributes to the recovery of endangered, threatened, and other species of concern, by engaging Canadians in conservation actions to benefit wildlife and to protect aquatic species at risk.

Increasing species at risk capacity and facilitating youth engagement within the Piikani Nation

Wetland as Natural Solutions: Baselines and projections for Wetlands on Agricultural Land

This low-cost and high-value demonstration of Mission Control’s Spacefarer software platform and a Virtual Reality Camera System will comprise Canada’s first ever commercial rover mission. In partnership with a US-based lunar transportation company, Mission Control will deploy a rover on the south pole of the Moon in 2024. The demonstration will investigate user experience in deep space robotic operations, and specifically how intuitive user displays, semi-autonomous driving modes enabled by artificial intelligence, and immersive reality lower the cognitive load, operator fatigue, and operator training needs while increasing mission success. Dozens of students and post-docs from four Canadian universities will operate the rover alongside Mission Control staff and youth from underserved communities. Following a successful demonstration Mission Control will be poised for further growth in international markets as Spacefarer is adapted for use on new missions.

The main objective of this project is to enhance and expand the research into passive flow control elements development and deployment on glider wings for improved performance in terms of maximum altitude and stratospheric flight duration.

This project aims to develop a novel space-deployable microfluidic sensor technology for early stage multiplex detection of chemical and biological disease markers in saliva, as a non-invasive test that can be expanded to many markers in the future. The proposed project is designed in response to health monitoring challenges in space and will be beneficial in detection of salivary biomarkers including Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria (a human-specific bacteria manifesting mild to life-threatening invasive infections) and lactate (an indicator of several diseases such as heart failure, respiratory insufficiency, and immune system dysregulation), leading to early and effective remediation actions.

The objectives of the program are to:.•Support greater influence and control over Indigenous ELCC programs and services by Indigenous peoples;.
