Grants and Contributions

This project supports the development of a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses. The platform evaluates organizational security across six key areas: public-facing digital infrastructure, internal network security, endpoint devices, third-party vendor risk, employee security awareness, and compliance frameworks. The solution translates complex cybersecurity findings into clear, actionable insights for business decision-makers, enabling organizations to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen their security posture. The project involves research, development, and validation of automated assessment and reporting capabilities.

The project will support the development of the firm’s intellectual property capabilities.

This project will test hypotheses and experiment with new mechanisms to design (or optimize) a repeatable and scalable business process, which may result in new business methods for online digital channels.

To provide employment to a recent graduate with a focus on the design and technical feasibility study of a novel two-stage centrifugal compressor architecture intended for use in a new Combined Heat Power (CHP) unit.

Hiring a recent graduate in clinical neurophysiology to support the expansion of the firm’s intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring services.

The Project, a collaboration between the NRC and NORAM Electrolysis Systems Inc. (NESI) includes three work scopes. The NRC will provide NESI with a Lithium rich brine produced via two lithium extraction processes, a solvent-based approach and a Lithium leaching approach. NESI will process the Lithium streams using NESI's proprietary electrolysis and pre-treatment technologies. Then, NESI will take the electrochemical cell products and further process them by evaporation crystallization and other concentration and purification methods to form a battery grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM), a sulfuric acid stream, and a salt recycle stream. NESI will analyze the LHM and acid product and provide an impurity profile. Based on dialogue with NESI and results produced throughout the Project, the NRC will provide novel membrane composite materials for use in the NESI electrolysis cells. NESI will perform electrolysis with the novel membrane composites to quantify process improvements resulting from the novel membranes.

The network analyzer device intent is to be designed to support troubleshooting, monitoring, and performance improvement of high-speed networked systems. It consists of a hardware interface, a host computer, and associated firmware/software tools.

The system operates as a node within the network and observes network activity during normal operation. Its purpose is to provide visibility into overall network behavior, system status, message activity, and diagnostic information. Key capabilities may include network monitoring, health reporting, message inspection, logging for debugging, and automated test support.

The project will support commercialization and sales growth of new products across multiple sales channels. This will create an exciting career opportunity for a new graduate to learn product development, sales and business growth strategies.
