Grants and Contributions

This project will provide peer-led harm reduction outreach services, peer-led harm reduction training including local referral and treatment options, anti-stigma education to organizations and community members, and low-barrier community support spaces for people experiencing houselessness and people who use substances.

This project will support the modernization of an establishment of a new manufacturing facility focused on sterile injectables in Boucherville, Quebec. The facility will primarily manufacture and produce generic sterile injectables.

This project will support the establishment of an innovation research and development (R&D) centre and a commercial scale, good manufacturing practices (GMP) manufacturing facility in Edmonton, Alberta for the production of novel genetic medicines.

This project promotes greater awareness among Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians of electric vehicles.

This project builds Canadian rural or remote community capacity to increase the use of biomass as an energy source.

Machine Learning (ML) technologies have been widely adopted in many mission-critical fields to support intelligent decision-making with superior performance. With the success of these new technologies, the application of ML introduces novel and significant threats to AI-powered systems. Policymakers around the world have made a number of ongoing efforts on regulation enactment to enforce and normalize AI cybersecurity and privacy. It is essential to ensure that ML systems can achieve regulatory compliance and satisfy the standard requirements.

Croda Canada Limited is focused on the discovery and development of novel specialty chemicals for the personal care sector from its proprietary collection of marine bacteria and fungi. While the culture collection is comprised of marine?derived microorganisms collected by SCUBA at depths ranging from 30-100 ft, access to infrastructure to conduct fermentations at pressures that mimic the natural habitats of these microorganisms has not been previously available. As a result, it is likely that fermentation processes conducted at atmospheric pressure are unable to induce production of the full repertoire of metabolites encoded in the genomes of the marine microorganisms in the collection. By utilizing the novel high-pressure bioreactor technology developed by Advanced Extraction Systems Inc. in collaboration with the NRC, the Project will investigate the effect of pressure on the production of bioactive metabolites by three marine microorganisms. Results will be used to develop novel routes to new personal
care products.
