Currently, available treatments have limitations and compromise the quality of life of dogs. Adored Beast Apothecary wishes to develop unique natural health products to prevent and treat cancers of dogs. […]

This project will support the development and implementation of a collaborative conservation strategy for the Annapolis Valley Sand Barrens, a globally rare and endangered ecosystem found in Nova Scotia. It has been estimated that only 3% of the Annapolis Valley Sand Barrens remains today, lost primarily due to competing land-uses such as urban development, agriculture […]

Ascophyllum is a perennial brown seaweed that is an important economic resource in eastern Canada in which hundreds of people are employed in the harvesting, processing and marketing of this alga. Growth of the vegetative parts of plants occurs mainly in the summer and fall, whereas growth and maturation of reproductive structures (i.e. receptacles) occurs […]

Biofouling is the process where marine organisms adhere to surfaces used in aquaculture and marine applications, such as tanks, netting, plumbing, and hull surfaces. The additional weight and drag on surfaces and narrowing of openings in netting or plumbing strongly affect energy costs and efficiency of operations. Conventional anti-biofouling coatings contain tin or copper, which […]

The interns for this proposed project will work under the supervision of Dr. Thompson to extend our understanding of the health risks associated with different modes of administration and investigate sex and gender differences in cannabis use, practices, effects, and outcomes. Identifying indicators of negative health outcomes is an important step in developing effective cannabis […]

Currently, mink producers select their breeding animals based on their phenotypic performances, and they have limited experience of using genetic or genomic selection to improve their profitability. Therefore, there is a need to enhance the ability of the Canadian mink industry to compete internationally by improving animal production using new genomic selection tools. Genomic selection […]

Lighten Up Electric (Lightenup), an electrical contracting company based out of Moncton, New Brunswick, have targeted market potential for small-scale residential renewable energy systems in the Maritime region of Canada. The Maritime Provinces have large and undeveloped potential around solar and wind energy capture, but also large potential for development of sustainable design in construction. […]

The Bay of Fundy is recognized as an area of high ecological importance and is home to a diverse fish assemblage. FORCE, Canada’s leading test centre for tidal energy research and development, is currently assessing the potential for tidal energy development in the Upper Bay of Fundy’s Minas Passage. Since 2009, FORCE’s Environmental Effects Monitoring […]

The overarching objective of the RC project is to generate evidence to support the successful development, implementation, and evaluation of the Recovery College model in the Vancouver Coastal Health region of British Columbia. Research conducted by interns on this project will include incorporating lessons learned from current and previous Recovery Colleges in other areas of […]

Institutions recommend financial products and instruments from different brokers to their customers. The institutions are required to ensure that the trades serve their customer interests. The existing rule-based system results in high false positives. The recommendations that are identified as positives are scrutinized by financial analysts, which is costly and inefficient. The project will enhance […]
