A key component of the Grant & Sponsorship Research Intern’s (hereinafter referred to as “the intern”) responsibility is to use market research practices to supplement the grant and sponsorship efforts of ASBA. The intern will identify funding opportunities that support the implementation of ASBA’s programs, events and initiatives and submit eligible grant applications for designated […]

Across Canada, electricity is becoming a scarce resource as there are increasingly urgent calls to electrify fossil fuel loads. Furthermore, even if ample generation is present, the electrical grid will be unable to accommodate the increased demand. This research project will propose and investigate tangible solutions to optimize the power flow and usage within the […]

In 2017, Canada hosted over 13 thousand asylum seekers younger than 15 years. In Canada asylum seekers wait on average for two years for the determination of their refugee status. Moreover, asylum seekers are being vulnerablized not only by pre-migration trauma, but also because of the ongoing stressors of resettlement, including legal precarity, racism, discrimination, […]

Statistical analysis of 3-dimensional motions of objects or humans is instrumental to establish how these motions differ, depending on various influences or parameters. When such motions involve no stretching or tearing, they may be described by the elements of the Special Euclidean Group. Statistical analysis of physical processes of this kind is complicated by the […]

Videns Analytics a lancé en 2018 le projet Réussito. Ce dernier est un outil technologique qui aidera le personnel enseignant dans sa prise de décision. Pour ce faire, les commentaires de rétroaction des enseignants sont analysés, à l’aide d’intelligence artificielle, pour les classer dans plusieurs catégories ciblées par des chercheurs en éducation. Les algorithmes d’intelligence […]

Parce qu’il est urgent au Québec, tout particulièrement pour l’Institut National d’Excellence en Santé et en Services Sociaux (INESSS) et la communauté des évaluateurs, de disposer d’un ensemble de valeurs d’utilités pour les états de santé de la population qui reflète ses préférences et soit basé sur les meilleures méthodes, nous proposons ce projet. Il […]

This partnership project with Hydro-Québec focuses on providing a better-informed optimization for service point location and modernizing the architecture of the optimization system. Our objective is to leverage the abundant data from Hydro-Québec to build robust forecasting models that can predict the workload demand at each potential or available service point. We also aim to […]

Our ultimate goal is to develop small molecule drugs and validate their roles in viral replication inhibition. Collectively, we have the expertise in molecular and cell biology, biochemical, structural biophysical, and drug-discovery platforms. We have all the required infrastructure and resources available to realize our goals. Development of small molecule drug as antivirals include many […]

Au niveau des municipalités, la gestion des ponceaux est de la responsabilité des gestionnaires de la voirie. Cependant, l’inventaire complet des ponceaux n’est pas toujours disponible en raison de l’éloignement de certaines zones rurales, et la non disponibilité historique des données du ministère des Transports du Québec pour ce type d’infrastructure. Afin de détecter et […]

Current analytical methods for the extraction of lipid-soluble compounds (fatty acids, cholesterol, antibiotics, pesticides, vitamins) are costly and time-consuming. Recently, we have assessed a novel patent-pending “kit” method for extracting fatty acids and cholesterol from food and tissues with great success. We propose to continue testing this method for extraction of lipid-soluble vitamins, pesticides and […]

Today’s high performance computers offer the possibility of computing complex large scale computational fluid dynamics simulations in a reasonable time. In practice, exploting the thousands of computing cores to achieve the desired solution time is very challenging. These challenges include finding enough work to keep all these cores busy, and assigning work to different parts […]

The intent of this research project is to make iCBT technologies safer, and evidenced based for the Canadian populations. Many available products on the market have not been tested or evaluated for safety and whether or not they are effective in helping people self-manage their mental health needs is unknown. The research and interviews from […]
