The proposed project will improve Global Maritime Canada’s document intake and record-keeping process by developing an AI-assisted workflow that streamlines how project documents are reviewed, organized, and logged into an existing internal environment. By reducing repetitive manual steps and standardizing the information captured at intake, the project aims to improve operational efficiency and the quality […]

The overall objective of the project is to identify key policy and supply chain issues relating to Newfoundland and Labrador’s emerging clean energy industry including green hydrogen, the electricity grid, biomass and energy storage, and low-carbon fuels. The objective is to characterize these challenges in terms that can be easily understood and to also recommend […]

PhD student, Che Nicholls (Memorial University) will travel to the Cape Eleuthera Institute, The Bahamas, to study land crabs. As part of his tenure at CEI he will guide a group of 15-17 year old students, who spend an entire semester at CEI learning about The Bahamas. Che’s research will focus on the black land […]

TxtSquad will develop an AI-driven intake and screening system that begins over SMS and continues in a secure web portal. Patients can upload documents and describe their symptoms, which are processed using OCR and AI to generate structured, FHIR-compatible records for EMR integration. The project will reduce administrative effort and improve intake quality for healthcare […]

We wear footwear every day to complement diverse activities and lifestyles, from leisure walking to performance sprinting, and everything in between. Determining whether a certain type of footwear alters performance remains a key challenge with each innovation. While we know that sensory feedback from the foot influences our ‘feel’ for the ground, how these sensations […]

The Medventions Atlantic – NL program is based on the proven model from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre which enables high-performing students and recent graduates from diverse academic backgrounds to engage directly with frontline clinical and innovation challenges. The interns are embedded within clinical environments to identify unmet needs, apply early-stage innovation thinking, and co-develop solutions […]

Our Mitacs intern, Paula Renee Boldut will be assisting with the launch of a new Co-op and carrying out research for her Master’s degree into challenges and strategies to achieve food sovereignty in rural and urban communities The project sponsor, the provincial non-profit group Food Producers Forum (www.foodproducersforum.com), is a six-year old non-profit group developing […]

This project will support R.I.S.E. Arts and Community Services (RISE), a Greater Toronto-based youth-led arts organization that fosters self-expression and healing through the arts and develops pathways to artistic achievement and professionalization for emerging Black and racialized artists. RISE is affiliated with a for-profit entity called R.I.S.E. Edutainment; however, its operations are still overwhelmingly tied […]

The Arctic Ocean is warming four times faster than the rest of the world, which is negatively impacting Arctic fishes in their early life stages. The influx of boreal species, known as borealization, introduces more species from the Atlantic, including gelatinous organisms (e.g., scyphozoan jellyfish) that can compete with young fish for food or prey […]

Schizophrenia is a serious mental health condition that often goes undetected in its early stages and can be difficult to manage as symptoms progress. Research has shown that disruptions in the brain’s endocannabinoid system plays a role in the development of this disorder. This project explores the potential of Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), a naturally occurring fatty […]

Mining sustainability as one of Canada’s strategic industries can be effectively enhanced by using digital twins meaning to consider socioeconomic impacts, conserve the natural resources for the current and future generations, and be resilient against climate change over the mine life cycle. A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object, system, or […]

This project represents an initial exploration of the New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard and its potential for transforming flight booking systems. By integrating real-time flight data, the project aims to investigate the challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities associated with adopting NDC in travel agency workflows. Through a methodical approach, the initiative will identify critical barriers, evaluate […]
