Grants and Contributions

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.

This grant represents Canada's institutional support to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). UNHCR uses these funds, along with other donors’ funding to achieve its mandate of leading and coordinating international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide. It provides international protection and assistance to refugees, internally displaced and stateless persons, while searching for durable solutions, and ensuring that their basic needs are met. UNHCR also leads on the implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees (2018), convening stakeholders and facilitating more comprehensive responses to refugee situations.

With GAC’s support and the support of other donors, UNHCR’s emergency operations in 134 countries aim to provide protection and assistance to an estimated 65.3 million forcibly-displaced people. Project activities include: (1) providing shelter, clothing, and other essential non-food items to people of concern (including refugees, internally displaced persons, and stateless people); (2) providing adequate sanitation services; (3) working with governments to register asylum seekers and refugees, and to help issue identity documents; (4) working to uphold the social and economic standing of persons of concern; and (5) working with governments to support refugee self-reliance, and forge peaceful relations between refugees and local citizens.

Canada's Fisheries Fund will transform and drive innovation in the fish and seafood sector in Canada with a focus on developing the sector to better meet growing market demands for sustainably sourced, high-quality fish and seafood products.

In partnership with the Government of Saskatchewan, the Ya'thi Néné will work with neighbouring Athabasca Dene First Nations and communities to protect up to 600,000 ha by establishing Indigenous Protected Areas in the traditional territory of Nuhenene.

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.

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.
