Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.

The project aims to measure accurate masses and formation histories of galaxies in the most massive dark matter halo known in the epoch of reionization. These observations offer the chance to understand the formation of an extreme peak in the primordial density field and the role of environment in the early evolution of massive galaxies.

Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 1 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on June 14, 2021, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct research using the JWST.

The project targets the most luminous, massive dust-obscured galaxy presently known. JWST data will be used to detect and characterize the stellar content in this extremely dust obscured galaxy. The spectral diagnostics covered by this project will provide a much needed link with the existing ALMA nebular emission line observations.

Canada has committed efforts to push humanity further into the solar system beyond the International Space Station to more distant destinations like the Moon and Mars.

Astronauts on the International Space Station consume high levels of phosphate, but
it is unknown whether this contributes to bone loss during space travel.

This project aims to enhance the integration of Venezuelan refugees, migrants and returnees, with a particular focus on women and children, into the societies and economies of their host communities in the Latin America and Caribbean region through the Inter-American Development Bank’s multi-donor Migration Grant Facility and Better Together Challenge initiatives.

Project activities under the Migration Grant Facility include: (1) providing concessional financing to governments to support their response to the refugee and migrant situation; (2) providing technical assistance to governments and/or service providers to improve migration-related policies and processes, including awareness-raising campaigns, capacity building and/or training; and (3) completing research studies on migration-related issues to improve evidence-based policies and processes.

Project activities within the Better Together Challenge include: (1) supporting ventures that provide innovative solutions by and for Venezuelan refugees and migrants, including to access to financial services, capital and/or local networks; (2) training, including open online courses and job orientation sessions to Venezuelan refugees and migrants on economic advancement opportunities; and (3) establishing awareness-raising campaigns targeting the private sector to promote inclusive and positive narratives around migration, promote job creation and encourage inclusion between migrants and local workers.

Project activities include: (1) securing access to cleaner energy by providing alternative cooking fuel through continued provision of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) instead of firewood to reduce deforestation in CXB; (2) contributing to environmental and ecosystem protection by restoring local forestland and watershed, with a view to enhance climate resilience to landslides, flooding and droughts; (3) developing and updating environmental and watershed management plans using participatory planning at territorial level; (4) providing technical support for a multi-sectoral joint monitoring platform for environmental and socio-ecological assessments; (5) promoting renewable energy technology in farming communities; and (6) training Rohingya women beneficiaries in resilience building through green skills development.

This project seeks to improve gender and ethnic inclusivity throughout the peace process in Israel and the West Bank. The project aims to mobilize, educate and empower Arab women in Israel and the West Bank. They are under-represented key agents of change in promoting a sustainable and inclusive resolution to the conflict. Project activities include: (1) providing workshops on conflict and gender dynamics; (2) offering seminars on advocacy, communications and negotiations; (3) promoting dialogue meetings; and (4) facilitating advocacy meetings.
