Congratulations to all student recipients.
Eight climate change research projects were announced today by Genome Atlantic, in partnership with Research Nova Scotia.
Research Nova Scotia is an independent, not-for-profit corporation with the mandate to support, organize and co-ordinate the funding of research in Nova Scotia. RNS was established to enhance research capacity, as well as align research funding with provincial priorities and promotes a mission-oriented research ecosystem to help solve Nova Scotia’s biggest challenges.
What is mission-oriented research? A mission-oriented approach starts with what we want to accomplish, and builds a research agenda and coalition of partners to help achieve these goals.
Learn how Research Nova Scotia continues to explore opportunities with its partners to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research Nova Scotia is proud to support research at Nova Scotia universities, colleges, healthcare institutions and affiliated centres.
“Together we are working to develop a wastewater surveillance program on a provincial scale that will provide early and accurate detection of SARS-CoV-2, which could ultimately enable proactive and preventative COVID-19 health and economic response measures.”
“Our motivation for the project was two-fold. We wanted to see if we could help support the needs of frontline healthcare workers while also exploring potential new opportunities for the Nova Scotian pulp and paper industry.”
“This research from Mental Health Research Canada is invaluable for our work and the current data really helps us illustrate the increasing need for Nova Scotians.”
“The pandemic has had a particular impact on older adults, especially those with underlying health conditions. We want to see if Far-UVC light can kill airborne viral transmissions, including the SARS CoV-2 virus, in long-term care facilities.”
“My goal is to improve sustainable production. What that breaks down to meaning is that we can continually produce seafood, a great nutritional source for us, without taking advantage of or depleting resources.”
