Non-small cell lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, mainly because relapses are often detected too late. This research project aims to validate an innovative method to monitor patients after treatment by detecting tiny traces of tumor DNA circulating in the blood. Using a highly sensitive genome sequencing approach, it will […]

This study focuses on enhancing aviation safety by detecting and analyzing runway incursions—unauthorized entries of aircraft, vehicles, or personnel onto active runways—using high-resolution ADS-B data from Flightradar24 (FR24). Despite existing protocols, such incursions remain a significant threat to air traffic operations. The project aims to develop and validate algorithms capable of identifying critical events, such […]

The parental rights movement, which gained traction in the 1930s (largely in reaction to child labour reforms), has long resisted progressive reform. By the 1990s, the movement found renewed momentum amid heated debates over charter schools, further embedding the rhetoric of government overreach, privatization, and ethnonationalism into its public messaging4. Although considerable scholarship was produced […]

L’objectif général de la recherche consistera à évaluer l’efficacité du programme d’intervention résidentielle – mérule sur l’accessibilité des propriétaires québécois confrontés à cette problématique. Ce programme vise principalement à fournir un soutien financier aux propriétaires de bâtiments contaminés par la mérule, à assurer la durabilité des bâtiments et à suivre la situation au Québec (SHQ, […]

Cette demande de soutien vise l’élaboration du protocole de recherche pour l’étude « Portrait de la santé mentale des répartiteurs médicaux d’urgence en contexte post-pandémie ». L’objectif principal de ce projet est de décrire l’état actuel de la santé mentale des répartiteurs médicaux d’urgence (RMU) québécois concernant la présence et l’intensité de symptômes liés à […]

Tasiutigiit Association is a non-profit organization which started in the early 1990s to address the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in the child welfare system. It is evident that support for cross-cultural families is needed, including cultural competency/allyship programming and opportunities for the children to remain connected to their communities of origin. This year, Tasiutigiit was […]

Climate communication often uses doom-and-gloom messages that highlight the devastation of climate change, which can provoke negative emotions and might be counterproductive. Therefore, this project aims to test whether happy messages that highlight the personal happiness benefits of climate action can increase social media engagement and climate action across Canada. In collaboration with One Earth […]

The Fraser River Estuary, British Columbia, provides important habitat for juvenile Pacific salmon as they migrate downstream. The tidal marshes that support these juvenile salmon are under pressure from urban development, pollution, sea-level rise, and invasive species. One invasive plant that thrives in these habitats is purple loosestrife. It outcompetes native vegetation and can become […]
