Emergency Department Learning, Evaluation and Analysis Research Network (ED-LEARN)

Emergency departments (EDs) all over Canada are facing unparalleled challenges. In a time of increasing patient volume and complexity, EDs have also faced extreme staff shortages and access block within many other parts of the system. Delivery of emergency care in our health system is complex. The IWK ED has a long history of innovation and adapting to challenges to deliver consistently excellent care. With a strong foundation in both research and quality improvement coupled with the substantial investment in the new ED building by the IWK Foundation, we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to implement and evaluate change at scale. By doing so, we can maximize the impact of the investment during this time of transformation. The first phase of this work is to understand our current state, including what is known about measuring quality of care in pediatric emergency departments and understanding our current processes and culture that drive service delivery.

Comprendre le rôle et le potentiel du vélo dans la mobilité au Québec (État du vélo 2025)

Vélo Québec publie périodiquement l’État du vélo au Québec et la mise à jour 2025 survient dans un contexte où la pratique cyclable évolue rapidement. De nouvelles données deviennent disponibles, notamment celles des enquêtes Origine-Destination 2023–2025, mais malgré cette richesse, il demeure difficile de comprendre le rôle actuel du vélo dans la mobilité quotidienne, les facteurs qui influencent son usage, son potentiel — notamment comme mode complémentaire au transport en commun — ainsi que les effets des nouvelles infrastructures cyclables. Le problème de recherche consiste donc à caractériser ces dynamiques à partir de données empiriques, afin d’identifier les interventions les plus susceptibles de renforcer la mobilité active au Québec.
Vélo Québec, organisme national de référence en mobilité active, produit depuis 1995 l’État du vélo au Québec, auquel l’équipe universitaire contribue depuis 2010 (Morency et Godefroy, 2011; Morency et al. 2015; Morency et al. 2021). Pour l’édition 2025, l’organisme souhaite enrichir son analyse en intégrant des données récentes et diversifiées, en documentant l’utilisation des systèmes de vélopartage, en évaluant le rôle du vélo comme mode d’accès potentiel au transport en commun, en mesurant les impacts des nouvelles infrastructures cyclables et en réalisant un diagnostic territorial de la couverture et de la qualité des réseaux cyclables. Le principal défi est de transformer ces données hétérogènes en indicateurs robustes, comparables et reproductibles.
Les retombées attendues pour Vélo Québec sont importantes. Le projet fournira des analyses et modélisations inédites, ainsi que des indicateurs améliorés pour l’État du vélo 2025, renforçant la capacité de l’organisme à soutenir les municipalités et le gouvernement dans la planification d’infrastructures cyclables efficaces. Les résultats permettront une meilleure compréhension des déterminants de la pratique cyclable, une évaluation plus fine de l’intermodalité vélo–transport en commun et l’identification de zones prioritaires d’intervention, avec des bénéfices sociaux, environnementaux et économiques.

Comparative Evaluation of Saliva Collection Modalities

This project will evaluate simple methods for collecting and preparing saliva samples for concussion biomarker research. The work will compare different collection approaches to determine which provides more consistent results. All experiments will use artificial saliva, allowing the methods to be tested in a controlled laboratory setting without using human samples. The results will help HeadFirst Inc. establish reliable sample collection procedures to support future research and development of saliva-based concussion diagnostics.

Biocontrol of Urban Bedbugs: Evaluating Fungal Alternatives for Insecticide-Resistant Populations in Winnipeg

This project investigates the resistance of Winnipeg bedbug populations to chemical insecticides and evaluates the effectiveness of locally developed Beauveria bassiana formulations, addressing critical gaps in our understanding of fungal susceptibility and informing the development of targeted, eco-friendly pest control strategies.

Winterpixel

Winterpixel Games Inc. is developing Gatherwood Grove, a large-scale multiplayer game that currently relies on an inefficient system where game world data is constantly regenerated and discarded. This project aims to build a new “persistent” storage architecture that allows the game to permanently save world data and player changes, rather than deleting them when players leave an area. By implementing this system, the intern will help Winterpixel reduce server costs and improve stability, enabling the studio to launch a high-quality, evolving game world that can support a massive global player base
