Grants and Contributions

Community Facility: This project will develop a new park in the municipality of the parish of Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague to support the development of this community to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Community based facility: The purpose of the project is to build a recreation park in Saint-Damien-de-Buckland in order to foster the development of this community so it can recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lunar rocks present a cheap and abundant source of propellant mixtures, as the oxidizer (oxygen) and fuels (metal alloys) can be relatively easily extracted with existing technologies.

The purpose of the project is to advance the design of a propulsion technology, based on the combustion of ISRU-derived metal alloy/liquid oxygen propellants. The main objective of the study consists in providing experimental parameters for the conceptual design of a corresponding rocket engine.

The project will benefit Canada by giving it a unique edge in the development of a cheap and practical technology for Lunar transportation.

These Sample Return Missions will provide material for research by generations of scientists for decades to come. A crucial component of any Sample Return Mission is curation.

Knowledge of the physical and thermodynamic state of sea ice is therefore critically important in understanding how climate change is affecting the planet.

This project will develop advanced deployable antennas that can be used in satellite remote sensing applications, with the goal of improving Canada’s capacity for monitoring the Arctic.

Ultraviolet and X-ray radiation from the first stars and galaxies left an imprint on the 21 cm neutral hydrogen radiation, which is a promising observational tool for characterizing the first stars and galaxies.

This project consists of deploying custom-built radio telescopes at the extremely remote McGill Arctic Research Station (MARS), in the Canadian High Arctic, to attempt to observe the faint signal emitted by the first stars. The main purpose of this project is to use these telescopes as prototypes for a future space mission and test them at MARS, which will be used as a space analogue site. In addition to conducting the sky measurements, other objectives of this project include the characterization of the soil and topography at MARS, and the accurate calibration of the radio instruments in the laboratory before and after the MARS deployments. Broader objectives include the hands-on training of students in all aspects of the project and the dissemination of results in conferences and scientific journals.

This project will enable, for the first time, testing of radio telescopes’ performance at a space analogue site.

Therefore, space agencies have great interest in searching for evidence of life on these planetary worlds, or to at least search for environments with conditions that are compatible with life as we know it.

A goal of this project is to inform and enable future methods for the search for life at Enceladus.

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.

To provide support for safe, healthy, productive waters and aquatic ecosystems for the benefit of present and future generations.

The purpose of the Indigenous Habitat Participation Program and the Salish Sea Initiative, is to support the participation of Indigenous peoples in activities relating to the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat, including the development of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ (DFO) policies, program elements and regulations and the development of their technical capacity to support greater involvement in the conservation and protection of fish and fish habitat.
