THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

The aim of this project is to produce a new critical evidence base on the transferability of policies and practices geared towards place adaptation and urban retrofit. Urban retrofit is defined as repairing existing places by adapting urban form to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, protect the environment, and support sustainable lifestyles. The project […]

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are of great to concern to fisheries managers and those who enjoy fisheries resources, such as anglers. In Nova Scotia, small mouth bass were introduced in the 1940s by provincial fisheries managers in the hopes of creating recreational fishing opportunities. These fish are efficient predators that predate upon and outcompete native […]

Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is a unique form of diabetes that differs from type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It affects almost 50% of patients with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF) but its precise cause remains unknown. Our goal is to understand the root cause of CFRD by investigating changes in cells extracted from […]

The overarching goal of this project is to determine whether glacial mineral extract improves the overall health of skin cells. To do this, we will test the extract on human epithelial cells in petri dishes. More specifically, we will test whether the glacial mineral extracts help the cells to grow and study how the cells […]

A Ph.D. student will be trained in an interdisciplinary area of algal functional genomics and molecular plant physiology. Combining these two areas in this project will solve two major issues. (1) Currently, there is a limitation in the study of brown algal functional genomics; brown algae, including Ectocarpus, are not yet amenable for genetic transformation, […]

The research project will evaluate how the FGF/NIBTF distributes funds to Indigenous communities across Canada. Currently, the allocation is based on several factors, including the number of residential schools in each region. The intern will analyze historical data to see how this factor affects funding and whether changes to the formula would create a fairer […]

Medventions is a full-time 14 week paid program that allows students and new graduates to take part in physician-led, hospital-based fellowship training. Fellows come from different areas of study and will get hands on experience in a clinical setting with innovators and experienced mentors. It equips fellows to identify priority healthcare needs and develop their […]

Seaweeds and seaweed products have been promoted in agriculture as source of nutrients and activators, to improve plant growth, plant productivity and food production. A wide range of beneficial effects have been observed, including seed germination, enhanced growth and crop yield, elevated resistance to biotic and abiotic stress. However, the bioactive compounds have not been […]

The project will identify and then collate information from a variety of ecological, arboreal, and forestry history sources which will provide foundational documentation about the Atlantic Coast Arboretum Catchment Area, that in turn will be used create an arcsGIS publicly accessible storymap, as well as providing a comprehensive guide to the species to be included […]

The maxillectomy is a surgical procedure, involving the removal of parts of the maxillary bone due to either congenital defects, traumatic conditions, or osteogenic and non-osteogenic tumors. The current gold standard of treatment involves the auto-grafting of bone from a second surgical site such as the fibula, into the maxilla; a practice that increases the […]
