Increase Gains in Nutrition by Integration Education Evaluation Empowerment$19.0Mvalue2023start2029end

The project aims to improve nutrition for the poorest and most marginalized in Ghana, Malawi and Pakistan, especially women, adolescent girls, and children. In all three countries, women, adolescent girls and children represent a disproportionate number impacted by malnutrition due to various biological and socio-cultural factors, including poverty, gender inequality, and community norms. The project expects to deliver targeted, integrated nutrition, health, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programming to build sustainable institutional capacity across the continuum of care and impro

Translational applications of advanced brain, cognitive, and mental health analytics and monitoring in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.$449Kvalue2023start2024end

Funding will support research and development to identify solutions to National Defence’s Challenge: Understanding and addressing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Department of National Defence is seeking novel tools and methods to assess, address and treat PTSD resulting from defence and security operations. This includes the integrated dimensions of diagnosis, prevention, training, education, resilience, and moral injury treatment.

Child sex trafficking: Scaling promising practices in pediatric health care and community response protocols$268Kvalue2026start2027end

Through this 12-month project, The Hospital for Sick Children’s Lotus Health will scale their promising practices – pediatric health care program specializing in child sex trafficking and multisector community response protocol. They will scale to new populations and locations to strengthen the gender-based violence sector by (1) expanding services to children with neurodevelopmental disorders/disabilities and psychiatric complexity who have experienced sex trafficking and those at risk; and (2) assessing the need for and feasibility of adapting the community response protocol as an e-learning

Non-Viral Gene Therapy for Myotubular Myopathy: Skeletal Muscle Targeted Lipid Nanoparticle-Mediated Delivery of the MTM1 Gene to Restore Muscle Function.$204Kvalue2024start2026end

Myotubular myopathy is a severe congenital disorder marked by muscle weakness and hypotonia due to mutations in the MTM1 gene, which encodes myotubularin. This protein is crucial for muscle cell maintenance and repair, and its deficiency disrupts these processes, causing significant muscle dysfunction. Current treatments are symptomatic and fail to address the genetic cause, necessitating therapies that target the root of the disease. Gene therapy, particularly with viral vectors, shows promise but has limitations such as immune responses and high costs. Recent safety setbacks in AAV8-M

Optimizing the development of sgRNA array library: a PoC study$27.5Kvalue2022start2024end

The CRISPR/Cas system has revolutionized the analysis of gene function in mammalian cells. Cas cuts DNA at specific genomic region by associating with a single guide RNA (sgRNA) molecule whose sequence is complimentary to the genomic DNA to be targeted. This system was rapidly adopted by the functional genomic community to perform pooled screens because of its simplicity and efficiency. However, current pooled screen read-outs are limited to assays with strong selective ressure, but are ill fitted to measure phenotypic effect on state and differentiation of targeted cells. As such, arrayed scr

Optimizing the development of sgRNA array library: a PoC study$27.5Kvalue2022start2024end

The CRISPR/Cas system has revolutionized the analysis of gene function in mammalian cells. Cas enzymes cut DNA at a specific genomic site as targeted by a single guide RNA (sgRNA) complimentary to the desired modification site. This system was rapidly adopted by the functional genomics community to perform pooled screens because of its simplicity and efficiency. However, current pooled screen read-outs are limited to assays with strong selective pressure, but are ill-suited to measure phenotypic effects on the state and differentiation of targeted cells. As such, arrayed screens are superior
