This project, in partnership with the Ahead of the Game Youth Mentoring Organization (AOTG), investigates how race influences the coach-athlete relationship, particularly in the context of sport-based youth mentorship for under-resourced Black youth in rural Nova Scotia. AOTG has been facilitating such programs for over a decade and has found that relevant and relatable coaches […]

Indigenous peoples on the northwest coast have modified marine and coastal ecosystems to enhance food resources, shaping both local biodiversity and ecosystem structure since Time Immemorial. Forest Gardens near villages enhance food plant abundance and diversity, while Clam Gardens and managed clam beds improve clam productivity in the intertidal zone. Today these sites remain vital […]

We aim to enhance AI learning of MR images by providing scans of the pectoralis major, deltoid, and gluteus maximus from young healthy adults to Deep Anatomical Federated Network (DAFNE). DAFNE is a decentralized AI software that improves over time through user refinement. Machine Learning (ML) models enable faster automated analysis, distinguishing anatomical structures and […]

Ce projet vise à évaluer l’impact potentiel du programme de remboursement des médicaments sans promoteur de l’Agence des médicaments du Canada (CDA-AMC) depuis sa création, tout en analysant les conclusions des négociations avec l’Alliance pharmaceutique pancanadienne (APP). Avant l’introduction de ce programme, de nombreux médicaments étaient difficilement accessibles aux patients canadiens, car les promoteurs ne […]

AVN uses a sophisticated Distributed Control System (DCS) to monitor and control the process. The mill is equipped with a data historian system which captures continuous and discrete process data from the DCS and manual tests. The effectiveness of process monitoring and control has evolved over the years. But at many stages of the process, […]

The partner, PhyCo, is a marine biotechnology startup specializing in the development of sustainable, seaweed-based bioplastics for agricultural applications. The company collaborates with the Verschuren Centre for product development, including seaweed bioprocessing and extrusion methods for seaweed-derived biomaterials. The main activity of the partner involves exploring proprietary biorefinery (multi-step extraction) technologies, developing bioplastic formulations, and […]

Lorsqu’un nouveau traitement est évalué dans les études cliniques, des critères cliniques sont utilisés pour mesurer son efficacité en fonction de l’état du patient, notamment comment il se sent, fonctionne ou survit. Cependant, ces critères peuvent nécessiter un suivi prolongé avant de fournir des résultats concluants dans la recherche clinique en oncologie. Pour accélérer l’évaluation […]

Given advancements in medical and surgical technology, the number of children with medical complexity (CMC) is rising. These children, who experience multiple chronic medical conditions and require ongoing specialized therapies, are at higher risk of adverse outcomes from respiratory infections. However, most research on respiratory infections among CMC has been limited by small sample sizes. […]

The proposed project will be the largest ever study of RSV associated hospitalizations to Canadian tertiary pediatric hospitals. Cases are identified via our national active surveillance program for vaccine-preventable diseases, the Canadian Immunization Monitoring Program ACTive (IMPACT). IMPACT’s pediatric hospital-based active surveillance network provides a rich source of data with rigorous quality control processes and […]
