Grants and Contributions

Griffith Foods is building capabilities to deliver innovation in adding value to water and oil-based sauces, in line with our purpose of blending care and creativity to nourish the world. The focus of this project is to develop a solution to substitute the chemical preservatives, being so far the only and most widely adopted solution in the food industry, to control the growth of spoilage microorganisms, through the identification of the latest and most active compounds.

Drivewyze Canada Inc. is developing a Connected Truck Network to meet vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) needs by scaling up the existing Smart Roadside and Drivewyze Platforms and developing new V2I application offerings.

This project will develop two new markets and drive significant new sales for LICENSALE regulatory management system by Arazy Consulting Group, already utilized globally by top medical device manufacturers.

Current airframe manufacturing involves the fiber-reinforced thermosetting of plastic-based composites whereby impregnated directional fibers in composite layers are processed to form complex geometries. As a result, significant deformation and defects inside of composite layers are expected and measurement of the fiber's deformation and temperature are required information. This Project involves the development of a multi-functional and multi-purpose quasi real-time and in-situ sensing technology as a precise warning method for early failure. Wireless printed sensors will be designed and then embedded during lamination, targeting individual layers. These electromagnetic printed sensors will ideally be based on inductor-capacitor circuits (LC circuit) and will monitor three primary elements: position, temperature, and crack. This novel approach is minimally intrusive, can be applied to realistic composite shapes, and can provide data in quasi real- time.

The purpose of Kwekanimat's contribution aims to improve the well-being of 200 Aboriginal youth in Val-d'Or, aged 6 to 24, and their families, particularly youth aged 12 to 24, at risk of anti-social or delinquent behaviour, by engaging them in a sustainable personal and collective process aimed at improving their quality of life.

The Collaborative Research and Development (CRD) Grants are intended to give companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the unique knowledge, expertise, and educational resources available at Canadian postsecondary institutions and to train students in essential technical skills required by industry. The mutually beneficial collaborations are expected to result in industrial and/or economic benefits to Canada.

Engage Grants (EGP) are designed to give innovative companies that operate from a Canadian base access to the unique knowledge, expertise and capabilities available at Canadian universities and colleges. These grants are intended to foster the development of new research partnerships by supporting short-term research and development projects aimed at addressing a company-specific problem; that is, a problem related to the company’s core competencies or activities. The simplified application and decision processes enable university and college researchers to quickly undertake new research collaborations that extend academic expertise to these problems. The mutually beneficial projects are expected to result in economic benefits to the company and to Canada and build impactful longer term collaborations between the applicant and the company.

The Undergraduate Student Research Awards (USRA) are meant to nurture the interest of the students and fully develop their potential for a research career in the natural sciences and engineering. They are also meant to encourage students to undertake graduate studies in these fields. Students who would like to gain research experience in an academic setting, these awards can provide financial support through the hosting university. NSERC encourages qualified Aboriginal students to apply to this program.

International Co-Innovation Action Program (ICAP) - Rayleigh Solar Tech is planning to expand into international markets to locate technology development partners and partners able to collaborate to bring our perovskite solar technology to commercialization. Rayleigh plans to use international co-innovation as a mechanism to accelerate our research and plans to partner with firms that can provide additional knowledge, development speed and market access.

Our initial focus will be on our slot die coater printing product because it represents the best access to the existing thin film solar manufacturing market.
