Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this CanExport SMEs agreement is to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for activities related to export market development that are part of an export business case for a specific target market, particularly where activities are targeting departmental priority markets and sectors.

Furthering the development of a novel subsea platform and supporting infrastructure.

Research has shown that engaging in cognitively stimulating activities and habits can help stave off dementia. Digital technologies can be used as tools to enhance our cognitive abilities. Compared to mobile applications, virtual reality (VR) holds particular promise due to its ability to immersively engage the user with multisensory stimulation. Providing simulated real-world activities in the VR environment allows repeat practice of skills and strategies in deficit areas, promoting improvement in the long term. VR combined with sensors such as electroencephalography (EEG) enables training custom to the user, such as neurofeedback. Neurofeedback is a technique that presents real-time feedback of a user’s own brain activity to reinforce healthy brain function. NRC and ATR will investigate the use of VR and neurofeedback (via Brain Machine Interface (BMI)) for cognitive assessment and training. The project will build on previous work, where we have shown that BMI combined with VR can improve attention switching in the performance of a simulated everyday task, in healthy adults. In this project, we are proposing to test this technology in groups of older adults (healthy, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia), where we aim to demonstrate that 1) VR-based training is valid, feasible, usable and acceptable, 2) VR-based training results in quantifiable cognitive improvement in everyday functioning and 3) EEG measures related to cognitive performance can be identified.

In this project, the graduate will focus on design and development of novel chemistries for the intracellular delivery of nucleic acids.

Augmented Reality (AR) sport science and map visualizations on smart glass wearables to support runners using the Klocked app in outdoor activities. The visualizations are focused on improving motivation and performance of the user including in training and racing scenarios.

This International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) project will help to prepare Solaires to commercialize a new product iteration in the European market.

The proposed project will enable the Firm to strengthen the QA/QC capacity through better coordination of the growing daily requirements
and to assist in developing future Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

The summary of this project is to evaluate the efficacy of select microbial strains in agriculture applications against certain crop diseases in major crops and compile the relevant yield and product benefits attained. The project will be carried out through laboratory and greenhouse studies at collaborator partner locations including field trials conducted in cooperation with industry respected researchers.
