Grants and Contributions

This project explores operational integration for a novel balance and mobility assessment technology aimed at fall prevention and aging in place. Using pressure-sensitive tiles and computer vision with predictive algorithms, the system generates objective, interpretable mobility metrics in community settings. It addresses limitations of current assessments, which are often reactive, subjective, or restricted to specialized labs. The research evaluates these tools and potential implementation pathways such as physiotherapy clinics, senior centers, and long-term care facilities. Grounded in translational research, the project bridges lab-based innovation with real-world application, emphasizing scalable, privacy-conscious solutions that integrate into existing
care workflows. The goal is to leverage machine learning-enabled technology to improve awareness, early detection, and management of functional decline, support caregivers and clinicians, and empower older adults to monitor their mobility and wellness. Findings will inform strategies for broader adoption of digital health tools and commercialization, contributing to sustainable, community-based aging solutions that enhance independence and quality of life.

The aim of the project is to develop new approaches to differential equations with an aim of providing clear exponential advantages for problems in plasma physics, geo physics, optimization, financial mathematics and chemistry. The project will extend current approaches to handle stochastic differential equations and build quantum algorithms for inverse problems where a partial solution is known at different times in the dynamics. These will open up applications in geophysics and financial mathematics that at present are impossible on quantum computers. The team will develop a new mathematical formalism that proves bounds on information propagation speed to simplify both quantum and classical differential equation algorithms, also leading to new methods of simulating relativistic dynamics on quantum computers. Finally, the project will examine applications of these ideas to the aforementioned domain sciences and aim to show clear evidence for an end-to-end quantum advantage that could revolutionize the Canadian economy and scientific community.

This project will explore how advanced underwater inspection and asset management technologies can be adapted to support defence readiness. The initiative will assess technical and operational requirements for applying these technologies in defence contexts and identify opportunities to enhance Canada’s capabilities in infrastructure resilience and environmental awareness. The project will strengthen Canada’s innovation ecosystem by advancing technologies that benefit both defence and commercial sectors.

The project aims to help TACTIQL Inc. expand into international defence markets, focusing on NATO Europe and South Korea. It will involve mapping defence ecosystems, analyzing customer segments, and understanding procurement environments to identify opportunities aligned with Canada’s defence, AI, and digital technology priorities. The outcome will be a structured market engagement strategy, identification of scalable international channels, and a roadmap for aligning with allied defence procurement processes—ultimately strengthening Canada’s role in global security and innovation sectors.

Improve manufacturing production capacity and pursue new markets

This grant supports the upgrading, replacement, and purchasing of equipment for search and rescue activities on Haida Gwaii.

This project supports community engagement through honoraria for Indigenous welcomes, repatriation and management plan consultations, and provides funds to support capacity building for continued engagement.

This contribution supports the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ Government in the upkeep and maintenance activities of the ʔapsčiik t̓ašii multi-use pathway.

This grant supports First Nations consultations to explore land use options for the remaining Pickering Airport lands incorporating Indigenous conservation perspectives to support identification of high conservation value lands. The grant also supports exploring stewardship models and governance systems of interest to First Nations Communities.

The project provides a doorway to lifetime healing for individuals who experience social and cultural challenges resulting from intergenerational trauma and involvement in the criminal justice system. Through knowledge building, behaviour change and community integration, project participants will successfully reintegrate back into Calgary and surrounding or Nation communities. Participants will return to their communities with a better connection to Elders, ceremonies and culture, resulting in health and wellness.
