We want to improve how we digitally reach our target markets, so that we can grow awareness and increase revenue. To achieve that, this project has several core elements (to be refined with a successful applicant): Audit: To examine our web, ecommerce and social media channels to understand who we are reaching and how they […]

Global warming is a leading threat to humanity. Carbon capture, especially direct air capture (DAC), is the key to its reversal. The bottleneck of the DAC expansion is its high cost vs. the insufficient value of CO2. On the other hand, Atlantic Canada has unmet natural gas demand, especially after the termination of Sable and […]

Fishing for Success (F4S) is a community-based nonprofit social enterprise that works to transmit the intangible cultural heritage of Newfoundland & Labrador’s family fishery while advocating for an inclusive, gender-equitable & sustainable small-scale fishery that can help combat climate change and contribute to food sovereignty through better local seafood access. By partnering with academic researchers, […]

The goal of this study is to look at the effects of healthy lifestyle on obesity status in men who are middle aged, slightly overweight and don’t exercise. This study will use exercise and nutrition guidelines to look at their effect on some of the hormones which maintain healthy body weight. Subjects enrolled in this […]

The Western Environment Centre is a small but very active organization working on environmental education through citizen engagement in Corner Brook NL. This project helps WEC develop its programs to reach a wider audience, and to continue to build their community network. Through the development of social enterprise activities (such as providing services and programs […]

A sense that arts practices have a critical role to play in supporting sustainability is long-standing; but, how arts can contribute to addressing these challenges is a question that is becoming more urgent due to climate change. Where science has lacked effective communication about climate change impacts, there is a hope that arts can create […]

Considerable growth in the global population and economy leads to an increase in fuel demand. This requires production of clean fuels with minimum CO2 emissions to maintain climate, energy, political, and social security. Hydrogen is a promising carbon-free fuel that can be produced from various renewable sources such as wind and biological systems. The microalgal […]

The proposed research project will involve the completion of a systematic literature review of published studies addressing clinical best practices for the treatment of health conditions in the social work field. Products of the research study will include a library of comprehensive clinical guidelines for practitioners to follow, which can serve as the foundation for […]

Electric vehicle adoption is well past the tipping point in Canada and the world, and although the demand for electric vehicles is no longer a question, the supply chain for electric vehicles is still very much in doubt. One key element is the ability to supply electricity to support the charging of the vehicles, and […]

The approach to assessing Atlantic salmon in Newfoundland is based on patterns of salmon production and habitat that were established for populations in rivers much further south. The physical and biological characteristics of watersheds and rivers in Newfoundland are different from the southern rivers and the bases for conservation decisions are likely inappropriate. Establishing relationships […]

The proposed research project will develop an innovative method to design healthcare processes and apply the method to the care of stroke patients in Newfoundland and Labrador. The design method is grounded in engineering techniques, starting with establishing the design requirements of the system that is to be designed. The project will support underlying ongoing […]
