Forward Security is a cybersecurity firm focused on helping clients identify and mitigate application-level vulnerabilities. One of their current innovation priorities is improving the efficiency and accuracy of manual security testing practices by leveraging automation, particularly in alignment with the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), a globally recognized framework for secure software development and […]

This project will be concerned with improving the sales and marketing effectiveness of ReaderBound, and enhancing its ability to reach and engage with book publishers in Canada. This project will therefore focus on two specific areas: 1) Improving and expanding our social media footprint, including the development of a comprehensive social media strategy and creative […]

This proposed study is an unprecedented attempt by a North American municipality to proactively identify and strengthen the components of its local value chain to inform a comprehensive strategy dedicated to growing opportunities in local advanced manufacturing, targeting increasingly interwoven value chains. Surrey has the space and existing capabilities to become an advanced manufacturing hub […]

Managing the risks from snow avalanches during winter mountain travel is vital for the Canadian avalanche industry. An average of 14 avalanche-related fatalities per year occurred between 1997 and 2014 with the majority of those triggering the avalanches themselves. We propose a detailed examination of avalanche risk management practices using the conceptual model for avalanche […]

This project focuses on launching a new Orange Shirt Day book to mark a historic milestone in 2026, signaling the first graduating class of students who have participated in Orange Shirt Day throughout their entire K-12 education. Medicine Wheel Publishing is collaborating with the Orange Shirt Society to create a meaningful book that highlights stories […]

The rapidly increasing global use of cannabis and the increasing potency of ?9-tetrahydrocannabinol (?9-THC), the primary psychoactive component, necessitate rapid, sensitive, and portable detection methods for drug screening. Traditional chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, while accurate, have limitations that hinder their use in point-of-care (POC) and real-life scenarios. Electrochemical sensors offer a promising alternative due to […]

Increasingly prevalent patient violence within the dementia population is a challenge to long term care providers. Violent incidents can lead to serious musculoskeletal and neurological health complications. I propose to use video surveillance and a novel brain monitoring system in a care facility-based elderly population, to monitor violent episodes and brain vitality after incidents. This […]

The proposed project is two-phased. The first phase involves a study that will use specialized research analysis techniques to compare the effectiveness of pharmaceutical drugs used to treat type II diabetes and to identify if a group of drugs are producing similar benefits in terms of controlling the disease. The applicant’s clinical and epidemiological background […]
