the following services of the sub contractor are required: investigate the etiology of post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis (oa) through advanced molecular medicine and engineering techniques, perform in vitro and/or in vivo investigations of post-traumatic osteoarthritis disease progression, investigate health canada approved pharmacological and regenerative medicine attenuation strategies, document all procedures and generate output data tables for generation of academic publications/manuscripts by drdc and/or other labs.

based upon the primary data collection findings derived from w7714-145967/001/sv task 52, there is a requirement for a sub contractor to design an empirical study that identifies the relative importance of road to mental readiness (r2mr) training characteristics (i.e., content, delivery method, and accessibility) that correspond with optimal preferences from the perspective of a canadian armed forces member/trainee. further, the sub contractor will analyze the study data and provide recommendations for prioritized targets that can be used to improve the perceived satisfaction and training value of mental health and resilience training in the caf.

canada’s clean fuels industry must immediately, and significantly, increase its current capacity to play the critical role needed in our net-zero future. to do this, it will be essential to overcome the barrier of the upfront capital cost that private sector investment faces in the buildout of new clean fuels production capacity.

to that end, the clean fuels fund will provide the private sector with cost-shared, conditionally repayable funding to build new, or retrofit or expand existing, clean fuel production facilities in canada.

support is also available for feasibility studies, basic engineering studies and detailed front-end engineering studies for new facilities, facility expansions or facility conversions
