Grants and Contributions

Prevention, early detection and surveillance, response, management, and reporting of Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) are activities that may be supported by providing assistance to Indigenous groups, academia, non-governmental organizations and other Canadian organizations.

The objectives of the Program are to; support the development and utilization of effective approaches to address social issues and challenges;
develop, exchange and apply knowledge, tools and resources that address social needs of individuals, families and communities; foster partnerships and networks to address existing and emerging social issues; recognize and support the ability of not-for-profit organizations to identify and address social development priorities; and, recognize and promote community engagement initiatives (e.g. volunteerism, corporate social responsibility, innovation, partnerships, coalitions) that mobilize community assets and develop capacities and resources for action.

There is an urgent need for portable SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic instrumentation for deployment across Canada. Work-to-date has led to the creation of a molecular diagnostic for SARS-CoV-2 that has clinically-relevant sensitivity and can be read using a simple, off-the-shelf glucose meter. This technology uses gene circuit-based sensors that create glucose in response to the presence of the viral genome. Users simply measure the glucose level of a test and then use online software to translate the reading into clinically actionable information. This technology is currently limited by the need to extract the viral genome from patient samples, which is normally done in a well-resourced laboratory. The proposed collaborative Project will address this challenge by creating a portable, automated, microfluidic chip for sample preparation at the point-of-need, enabling distributed use of the glucose meter-based technology.

The project is to develop a proof of concept of a relationship intelligent platform.
