OCULAR RIGIDITY AS A NOVEL RISK FACTOR FOR SPACE FLIGHT-ASSOCIATED NEURO-OCULAR SYNDROME
Visual impairment as a consequence of long-duration space travel is a serious challenge to human exploration. Our limited understanding of how Space Flight-Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome initiates during spaceflight points to fluid shifts associated with entering a microgravity environment. These changes yield ocular structural and functional alterations in a significant fraction of astronauts, not always resolved after Earth landing.
We surmise that ocular rigidity, determined by the shape and elasticity of the outer layers of the eye, plays a major role in the development of the disease, and is a risk factor that can be screened in a non-invasive fashion.""

The project’s main goal is to provide technical and logistical support to the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) to support in its mandate of ensuring the conduct of free, fair and credible elections. The main objectives of the project are two-fold: a) assist the electoral management body in becoming a more capable, transparent and ultimately, trusted institution; and b) provide the assistance required for undertaking inclusive, transparent and credible elections. Project activities include: (1) strengthening the NEBE as a cohesive institution; (2) enhancing public trust and confidence in the NEBE; (3) building staff capacities related to electoral processes; (4) building NEBE capacities for transparent and timely communication with the electorate; and (5) building NEBE capacities for detecting and resolving election-related disputes. The project’s strategic approach also aims at supporting the NEBE in ensuring inclusive participation of all groups including women, youth, and ethnic groups from all regions of Ethiopia.

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation (CXI) grant agreement is to support organizations and to build on targeted relationships between Canadian companies/researchers and key organizations in other countries to allow them to proceed with formal discussions to initiate collaboration(s) on future international R&D initiatives that could lead to commercialization of Canadian technologies.

Climate Finance Support to Address Short-Lived Climate Pollutant (SLCP) Emissions in the Pacific Alliance and West Africa

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.
