This project seeks to answer the overarching research question, how can the use of simulation-based learning (SBL) within a community-based setting improve access to training and the development of clinical practice competencies in practitioners (e.g. social work/psychology students/professionals). The project will expand access to experiential learning within a community-based setting using multiple modalities within the […]

The University of Calgary and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Calgary will collaborate to better understand Islamophobia and anti-Muslim racism. This is the most pressing challenge of the present time, and it has implications for the positive youth development and the well-being of Canadian society. The project will engage the Canadian Muslim youth […]

The Social Innovation Academy will be working with a network of Mitacs interns to develop national-scale backend infrastructure resources for impact investing funds across Canada. These resources may include (but are not limited to): initiatives for advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion; impact measurement frameworks; deal flow generation. In addition, interns will provide marketing, research, and […]

Over 250,000 Canadians suffer from epilepsy, a debilitating neurological condition with no known cure. For many patients, the only solution is the surgical removal of the seizure-trigger zones in the brain. Unfortunately, current electrode systems that are designed to record brain activity and target the seizure foci are highly invasive, not very precise, and do […]

The state-of-the-art polymer electrolyte fuel cells have catalyst layers (CLs) made of Platinum catalyst on carbon support (Pt/C) bound together by proton-conducting polymer or ionomer. To overcome the challenges of high cost of Platinum catalyst ad corrosion of carbon support, alternative materials for catalyst and catalyst support are being considered. The interaction of ionomer with […]

Establishing canola seed oil with high medium chain saturated fatty acids for North American consumers remains demanding. Currently the entire oil that is rich with saturated fatty acids is imported from Asian and South American countries. Canola mostly harbors mono-unsaturated fatty acids with minimal polyunsaturated fatty acids. We are working towards making canola with maximum […]

Oco uses Carbon Upcycling’s technology to offer our partners some of the easiest to integrate material decarbonization solutions on the market. Oco offers low carbon material solutions to consumer products brands […]

Each year in Canada, approximately 40,000 people under the age of 24 will experience homelessness. Youth experiencing homelessness are highly vulnerable to crime, violence and sexual assault. Once homeless, youth are at high risk for multiple episodes of homelessness or chronic homelessness into adulthood. Interventions must be youth-centered, low-barrier, strengths-based, and prioritize diversion and/or family […]

The transformation of renewable feedstocks such as carbon dioxide, is closely linked to homogenous catalysis. In homogenous catalysis transition metal complexes, containing a metal center and a of ligands (modulating the reactivity of these complexes) are key to achieve challenging transformations. This project aims to synthesize unique phosphorus-containing molecules (ligands) that can bind to transition […]
