This research will explore how nutrients from cattle manure moves through aquatic ecosystems in a Saskatchewan agricultural landscape. Cattle with access to the banks of water ways have the ability to alter the health of water ways and the plants, bugs, and fish that inhabit them. Indicators of ecosystem health such as water quality, algae […]

The access to medical imaging is still limited for Indigenous and non-Indigenous population in remote communities. Teleradiology is now the standard of practice due to the small population size and the large geographical area to cover. The process of teleradiology is quite complex as it requires a very good coordination between the local and remote […]

Canadian adolescent athletes suffer many mental health challenges such as hyper competitiveness and a culture of silence which often precludes individuals from discussing mental health issues. These challenges have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Team Unbreakable (the partner organization) have run a highly successful physical activity and mental health program which is implemented through […]

Over the last several decades, challenges in the development, production, supply, and use of vaccines have been raised and by consequence had led to increasing concern around the world. As a result, an increase in research and innovation in the vaccine industry is needed. In this sense, one of the most critical factors in the […]

The objective of this research is to explore the many social finance tools that have been implemented by other agencies across North America, and measure their effectiveness and applicability in a Newfoundland and Labrador context. In partnership with a MUN researcher, this work would include primary data collection in the form of interviews and surveys […]

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has served as a global authority on sustainable development and environmental governance for over seventy years. Responding to broader trends within these areas, the IUCN has sought to foster engagement with young people as a strategic priority-to move beyond tokenistic involvement toward institution-wide intergenerational collaboration. The […]

The coasts of Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) are used extensively by migratory songbirds (including species at risk) for both breeding and migratory fueling. We will study how adult and juvenile songbirds use and move among islands and the mainland during the post-breeding period when juveniles are still developing and adults moult flight and body feathers. […]

Life circumstances that influence people’s health (e.g. education, employment, housing, and social support) are called social determinants of health (SDoH). Interest in improving SDoH is growing as chronic diseases become more prevalent. Social Prescription (SP) is a model from the United Kingdom where a health care provider “prescribes” social or community programs that increase a […]

Non-profits have been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and many have closed their doors. This is a problem: non-profits are crucial to Canada’s social safety net, they serve marginalized populations to build greater resilience. This research intends to determine how United Way Halton and Hamilton (UWHH) and United Ways across the country can best support non-profits […]
