This project aims to create advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help scientists and doctors better understand and treat severe lung conditions, like acute lung injury (ALI). ALI is a serious condition that can lead to breathing problems and is often difficult to study because the current methods for analyzing lung tissue are time-consuming and […]

The proposed project aims to investigate the link between tRNA maturation and mitochondrial disease using yeast as a model system. Researchers from Carleton University in Canada will collaborate with experts from Comenius University in Slovakia to develop advanced gene-tagging techniques in yeast. This collaboration will allow for the creation of new reagents, tools, and technologies […]

Seasonal and environmental allergies are estimated to affect approximately 15% of the population in North America, leading to more than 3 million missed workdays per year with annual costs exceeding 8 billion dollars. Allergy symptoms from pollen or dust mites include sneezing, nasal congestion, and watery eyes, but in severe cases, asthma attacks may be […]

This research will investigate Responsible Gambling (RG) messaging. Specifically, the research will examine which RG messages are more effective and which populations respond better to certain kinds of message. This information will be used to create RG messaging that meets the needs of the diverse casino patronage.

This MITACS and its proposed support of interns is designed to expand an ongoing collaboration that exists between Baffinland Iron Mines Corporation, Environment Canada, aboriginal Wildlife Co-Management Boards, and academic collaborators. Together the group will collectively address several marine wildlife issues using a diversity of innovative research techniques including wildlife tracking devices attached to seabirds, […]

Digital Content investigation and development to define and develop relevant content that is search engine optimized, viewable and engages the target audience.

Mining affects communities and contributes to socio-ecological harms despite the proliferation of industry-led sustainability initiatives. These issues demand ongoing scrutiny given the intensification of ‘critical’ extractivism and its intersection with climate-change mitigation, action, and in/justice. The proposed project aims to interrogate the notion of sustainable mining as a source of ‘green’ jobs, community wellbeing, and […]

This research project aims to develop advanced robots and devices to help people with disabilities, like those with cerebral palsy or who have had strokes, move and live more independently. As people get older and the need for such assistive technology grows, it’s crucial to make sure these devices can accurately understand and predict human […]

Indigenous peoples and local communities are stewards of Earth’s biodiversity, with their sustainable practices crucial for global conservation efforts. Effective biodiversity monitoring, including tracking at-risk species populations, is essential for understanding species trends, identifying threats, and guiding conservation strategies. Our Mitacs Globalink project focuses on researching how local communities can monitor the recovery of threatened […]

Our project addresses a critical issue within the realm of substance use: the pervasive stigma that extends across the entire spectrum of use. By expanding our focus beyond the severe range, which is often the primary focus in research and policy, we aim to identify and understand the stigmatizing language and experiences faced by individuals […]

The proposed research project is aimed at developing an automated MRI-processing pipeline for pre-clinical neuroimaging. This pipeline will address some of the existing issues associated with current methodologies and has the potential to re-define the world of early drug development.

This project will draw on academic research, community engaged research and precedent studies to formulate community and public-facing research outputs that envision models and frameworks for the evolution of community land trusts (CLT) in Ottawa. The project will output maps, visualizations, and stories that synthesise Ottawa’s housing needs and the potentials of CLTs. It will […]
