Unintentional home injuries are a significant public health problem in British Columbia (B.C.), Canada. They can happen to people of all ages and are often influenced by various social and economic factors. This research project aims to address this issue by examining different aspects of unintentional home injuries and findings ways to prevent them. In […]

The objective of this project is to complete a needs assessment and feasibility study and develop a land usage recommendation to SJHC that will best fit within the SJHC Mission to meet the unmet needs within the community. The intern would work through the Blueprints Program utilizing the guidelines and templates that are appropriate to […]

The proposed research project is aimed at developing an automated MRI-processing pipeline for pre-clinical neuroimaging. This pipeline will address some of the existing issues associated with current methodologies and has the potential to re-define the world of early drug development.

The project is focused on study of commercial microbial cultures for biological remediation of soils and ground waters contaminated by chlorinated organic. The successful elaboration and improvement of the products requires analysis on molecular-genetic level and developing of specific techniques (16S pyrotag pipeline) for microbial communities profiling and metabolic reconstruction. The work benefits to industry […]

We are embarking on an exciting research project that aims to enhance how we diagnose and treat depression in young adults aged 18-29. Our team will use machine learning to better understand how a person’s genetic makeup and life experiences can affect their mental health. Specifically, we will enhance a tool called YMI, developed by […]

This study examines how sports bras and running shoes impact how female runners move. We want to understand how these affect performance and comfort. We will study 15 female runners using special sensors while they run outdoors. They will do a 20-minute run followed by a 5k run to make them tired. Then, they will […]

The proposed research project, undertaken by interns at Robosafety, an emerging startup, aims to enhance safety engineering in autonomous systems such as self-driving cars and AI-driven robots. By simplifying and improving the safety assurance process, this initiative seeks to significantly reduce the time and effort required for validating safety compliance. The end goal is to […]

This project is about creating dynamic maps of cattle movement over pasture foraging patches that will be characterized by forage plant composition, cover, and nutrition and takes place at the Thunder Bay Community Pasture (TBCP). The project is intended to test how the costs of implementing rotational grazing on the TBCP can be minimized by […]

The primary goals of our project are to fill critical knowledge gaps directly identified in the Federal Recovery Strategy for the Eastern Whip-poor-will regarding habitat use, prey availability, migratory paths and strategies, and overwintering sites in Southern Ontario, and to inform landowners about the presence of Eastern Whip-poor-will on their properties to support on-the-ground stewardship […]

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

The intern will lead the development of three research briefs based on findings from the 2023 Kindergarten Parent Survey, a unique research instrument designed by a collaborative of Halton researchers. The survey provides a snapshot of the wellbeing of Halton kindergarten preschool children and their families on multiple domains, including healthy development, physical activity, nutrition, […]

This project will draw on academic research, community engaged research and precedent studies to formulate community and public-facing research outputs that envision models and frameworks for the evolution of community land trusts (CLT) in Ottawa. The project will output maps, visualizations, and stories that synthesise Ottawa’s housing needs and the potentials of CLTs. It will […]
