Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.

The Project aims to integrate NRC’s VitalSeer technology, a contactless, camera-based system that uses computer vision and AI to monitor vital signs into Baüne’s Autonomous Care Unit (ACU™). The ACU™ system delivers real-time, personalized care through a modular and scalable digital health ecosystem that integrates Point-of-Care (PoC) technologies and Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices. It supports autonomous, contactless health assessments and predictive analytics, enabling early detection of health
deterioration and enhancing primary care delivery across urban, rural, and remote setting. Designed to improve accessibility and inclusivity, the upgraded system supports preventative care in community and home-based settings. It features real-time, contactless vital sign monitoring, predictive analytics, and streamlined data collection to enable early intervention, particularly addressing fall risks among seniors aged 65+, which cost Canada $5.6 billion in 2018. Deployment at Baüne’s ACU™ system has already supported
proactive home-based health management in community settings (CLSC Pierrefonds and CIUSSS-ODIM partner sites), and the addition of the NRC’s VitalSeer technology will improve senior’s safety at home by using validated, with optional minimally invasive modes for enhanced precision or continuous data collection.

The objective of this project is to advance forest sector international market diversification including market access through engagement and partnerships, and sharing Canadian expertise abroad.

This contribution supports creating a more inviting and accessible experience for residents and visitors to explore a shoreline wetland, including improvements to access infrastructure and interpretation.

The Victoria Immigrant and Refugee Centre Society will implement a five-year direct intervention project called the Community Shield Initiative. This project aims to reduce the involvement of at-risk youth in the criminal justice system, particularly newcomers, immigrants, refugees, Indigenous youth, LGBTQ2+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirited, inclusive of all other sexual orientations, romantic orientations, and gender expressions) individuals, and other marginalized groups in the communities of Victoria, Langford, and Saanich (British Columbia).

The project advances the work of the organization and network to deliver rights‑based services, to improve conditions in prison, & improve community reintegration outcomes for federally sentenced women & gender diverse people, with particular attention paid to the experience of Indigenous women & gender diverse people.

With the supplemental funds and 12-month extension provided in early 2026, the Comité de la Condition Féminine au Témiscamingue will develop a living organizational manual of intersectional feminist practices, test, analyze and adjust the practices documented in the manual, and include documentation, knowledge transfer and learning capitalization activities. Through this, they will further advance gender equality.

Thanks to the additional funding and 12-month extension granted at the beginning of 2026, The Y.W.C.A. de Québec will integrate the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion into HR practices and interpersonal relationships, build adhesion through discussion and clear expectations, and transform the organizational culture in a sustainable way so that EDI becomes an integrated practice into a collaborative and participatory ecosystem. Through this, they will further advance gender equality.

By providing high quality training opportunities in priority fields, the program strives to attract global talent and strengthen Canada's research ecosystem.
