As a result of climate change and other pressures that result in “extreme events” like wildfire and flooding, many drinking water utilities are at risk of potentially catastrophic failure and need treatment adaptation strategies to prepare for increasingly variable and potentially rapid deterioration in source water quality. Currently there are no recognized tools for evaluating […]

The Medventions Atlantic program based on the proven model from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre enables high-performing students and recent graduates from diverse academic backgrounds to engage directly with frontline clinical and innovation challenges. The interns are embedded within clinical environments to identify unmet needs, apply early-stage innovation thinking, and co-develop solutions with clinicians, patients, and […]

As the Canadian population is aging, more and more Canadians will show cognitive decline. Aging and certain types of neurological disorders is often associated with deficits in executive functions: goal maintenance, planning, task switching and attention. These functions are critical for the maintenance of functional independence. Few validated rehabilitation approaches for these types of deficits […]

This project will engage Veterans, Families and service organisations across Canada to co-design a continuum of care that supports the mental health and substance use health of Veterans and Families. A series of 3-4 engagement sessions will be held with approximately 50 Veterans and families, as well as a 2-3 workshops series with approximately 30 […]

Security Operations Centers today grapple with overwhelming alert volumes, fragmented toolchains, and manual response processes that impede timely threat containment. Analysts must pivot between multiple SIEM and EDR consoles, manually enrich indicators, and open tickets one by one, introducing delays that adversaries exploit to dwell undetected. Moreover, static severity tags lack the nuance to prioritize […]

Oilseeds and grains are considered to be excellent sources of non-animal proteins containing the appropriate essential amino acids required for optimal human health. Conventional protein production methods involve the use of solvents, concentrated acids and alkali that result in protein denaturation, thereby reducing the quality and functionality of the protein ingredients. The proposed project will […]

This research falls at the intersection of the “data, economy and society” and the “digitalization, security and democracy” core research areas. It aims to tackle the consequences of cross-border data flows on democracy and individual’s security, while underlining the economic potential of this data. The research also exists in continuation of CIGI’s two essay series […]

The Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) is a national convener of city builders — policymakers, urban professionals, civic leaders, community advocates, and academics — who collaborate to advance inclusive, sustainable communities across Canada. Through this project, CUI seeks to address how Calgary can meet its net-zero emissions goals by 2050 through residential densification. The project models […]

This project focuses on researching and developing an advanced coordination mechanism between our API layers and LLM infrastructure. The goal is to efficiently access and reason across both structured and unstructured data sources to improve customer’s decision-making processes. Success will be measured by the speed in which that data source can be identified, sourced, and […]

Dementia affects over 55 million people globally, with a new case diagnosed every three seconds 1, contributing to annual healthcare costs exceeding $1.3 trillion, including a projected $16.6 billion in Canada by 2031 2. Up to 40% of dementia cases are linked to modifiable lifestyle factors such as sleep and physical activity 3. However, health-conscious […]
