Mapping of manufacturing processes and production capacity outputs. The data will be used to generate production scheduling and planning systems as well as to optimize automation and to develop a customized ERP system that tracks inventory and WIP.

Normal aging and chronic disease can reduce our fine motor skills. However, sensitive outcome measures for assessing hand function and fine motor skills required for activities of daily living are lacking. This is impacting treatment development for late onset neuromuscular conditions affecting hand function in the elderly, such as Myotonic Dystrophy type-1 (DM1), because the lack of PAGE 4 sensitive outcome measures to monitor treatment efficacy is preventing industry investment in clinical trials for these conditions. This project will develop and test novel, sensitive, outcome measures to assess hand function in patients with neuromuscular conditions using the NRC’s bTrained software platform combined with wearable hardware. At the end of the project, a novel outcome measure (consisting of a suite of sensitive hand function assessment exercises on the bTrained platform) will be delivered and be ready for testing in the context of clinical trials. This study directly falls under the objectives of the AiP program by developing tools to facilitate drug discovery for neuromuscular diseases affecting the elderly, and thereby help elderly individuals to remain well and living independently in their homes.

This contribution supports the development of a better understanding of the geomorphological forces affecting infrastructure at the main station. This will lead to recommendations for ongoing monitoring, management of sand accumulation, and restoration of dunes and vegetation.

This contribution supports collaborative research at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine to develop tools to manage chronic wasting disease (CWD) in wild and captive deer species. These tools will be critical to reduce CWD spread in Canada to species at risk like caribou and help reduce the threat it poses

This contribution supports the Pauquachin First Nation with the implementation of three ecological and cultural restoration projects.

Alliance grants encourage university researchers to collaborate with partner organizations, which can be from the private, public or not-for-profit sectors. These grants support research projects led by strong, complementary, collaborative teams that will generate new knowledge and accelerate the application of research results to create benefits for Canada.
