Grants and Contributions

Rooted in anti-racist principles, CBRC will work with partners to develop and implement a capacity-building learning module to help organizations work more collaboratively and effectively, maximizing impact.

The project will include developing and putting in place HR processes and systems to hire grants committee members, creating a grants committee that will research, learn and develop resources on how to find and write funding proposals and how to develop other financial sustainability options and funding partnerships with the private sector, creating two strategic plans for the committee, gathering feedback, evaluating and updating the resources, and developing an online resource library to train new committee members and the Sher Vancouver team.

Following a space mission, astronauts experience severe bone thinning and increased risks of fracture when back on Earth. This bone anomaly is due to the exposure to an environment with reduced gravitational forces, namely microgravity. The aim of this study is to reproduce the microgravity environment on Earth using a ground-based instrument. Researchers will expose fish larvae to a simulated microgravity environment and analyse the effects on bone cells in the skeleton. The counter measure of vibration will also be examined separately and in combination with microgravity. The objectives of the study are to understand the cellular responses to these treatments in order to understand the microgravity induced bone loss observed in astronauts and to understand how to reduce these effects with vibration exposures. Fish bones strongly resemble human bones, in that the same cells are present, therefore these results will be relevant to humans.

It is well-recognized that astronauts experience profound physiological changes that adversely affect the heart owing in part to the effects of changes in the normal circadian light/dark cycle. Furthermore, new compelling data from the research group suggests that accumulation of damaged organelles resulting from impaired cellular quality control processes is an underlying defect contributing to cardiac cell-death and dysfunction following circadian disruption. The relationship between circadian disruption and heart health during spaceflight is not well-studied. Hence, the research team proposes to delineate how circadian disruption influences autophagy, cell-viability and cardiac dysfunction in females versus males in response to altered light/dark cycle during spaceflight.

Develop digital adoption plan

Project activities include: (1) raising awareness of the harmful impact of child marriage by encouraging open, inclusive and informed discussion at the community, local, national and international level; (2) facilitating learning and coordination among organizations working to end child marriage; and (3) and, mobilizing all necessary policy, financial and other support to end child marriage.

By providing opportunities for learning, capacity building, and participation, the program aims to provide opportunity for Arctic and Northern Canadian youth to enhance their understanding of international Arctic policy and amplify their voice in policy dialogues through 2 project components:

1) Sending policy delegation to International Arctic Policy

2) Implement 2 Arctic Policy Cohort

The project implemented by Éducation Internationale (ÉI) will provide international internships to young people, primarily to those in the school network who face difficulties in finding employment, especially those enrolled in vocational training and adult education centers in Canada, mainly in Quebec. ÉI will establish 84 internships, including (38) six-month and (46) four to six weeks internships. The offered internships are in line with the visions and missions of local partners and contribute to the advancement of SDGs 4, 5, and 13, while aligning with the fields of action of the FIAP, namely: i) gender equality and women's empowerment, ii) human dignity, and iii) environmental sustainability.
