Grants and Contributions

The Habitat StewardshipProgram (HSP) contributes to the recovery of endangered, threatened, and other species of concern, by engaging Canadians in conservation actions to benefit wildlife to protect aquaticspecies at risk.

Global Affairs Canada’s International Scholarship Program supports the recipient to enhance the international profile of Canada as a source of quality education and create interest abroad on Canada.

This project aims to improve the entrepreneurial ecosystems for women entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa so that they can play a transformative role in the transition towards low-carbon and climate-resilient communities. The project will conduct consultations with women climate entrepreneurs, policymakers, intermediaries (such as incubators and accelerators) and investors in East, West and Southern Africa to better understand the barriers faced by women climate entrepreneurs in starting or growing their businesses. The evidence gathered from these consultations will be used to inform and pilot incubation initiatives in Sub-Saharan Africa. Good practices in climate-focused gender lens investing will be identified and shared, and a road map for international development stakeholders will be developed to provide further gender-responsive support to women climate entrepreneurs and intermediaries.

The 43rd Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Scientific Assembly is a conference with the objective of promoting scientific research in space on an international level, with emphasis on the exchange of results, information and opinions. This conference, hosted as a hybrid event (both in-person and virtual) in Sydney, Australia from January 28 to February 4, 2021, provides a forum for the discussion of problems that may affect scientific space research. Postsecondary students attending this conference are offered a unique opportunity to deepen their knowledge of space science, develop their international networks, and present their research at a well-established and prestigious forum to a respected audience. Under the Canadian Student Participation in the COSPAR Scientific Assembly Announcement of Opportunity (AO), and as part of its commitment to support the development of the next generation of space professionals in Canada, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) awarded grants to graduate students (master's and doctoral) to participate in this assembly. The grant provided financial support to the student to cover the registration fees associated with their virtual participation in COSPAR.

Even conceptually simple problems can be difficult to solve. To motivate this project, consider a system of particles of type A and type B that are thoroughly mixed in a closed box. They are moving around at a rate dictated by the temperature (ie, diffusion). At some time, the type A particles start to bond together to form chains (ie, polymers). The question is: what does the system look like after a long time?

It turns out that there are several answers to this question. If the particles move around a rate much faster than the polymerization rate, then as the polymers of type A are formed the type B monomers will move away from the polymers. Hence, after a long time, the monomers of type B will be in a separate section of the box than the type A polymers. Conversely, if the polymerization rate is fast compared to the rate of diffusion, then type B monomers can be trapped in the network of type A polymers.

Computer simulations are ideally suited to solve such problems since the system can be evolved in time as dictated by known physical laws and particular sets of parameters (e.g., diffusion/ polymerization rates). The end simulation state can be analyzed and characterized. For example, we can quantify the purity of the separation of A and B particles. Performing the simulation and analysis across different parameters then allows us to reveal trends of how the final state depends on those parameters. This knowledge can be used to guide experiments that desire to achieve a particular final state. In this project, this fundamental knowledge will contribute to a larger project of designing new materials with particular properties.
