SSHRC IG awarded 2021: In the proposed four-year project, we will conduct a longitudinal study that follows three groups of children from kindergarten to grade two: 100 children with a family history of dyslexia, which is highly heritable, 100 with a preschool diagnosis of developmental language
disorder (DLD), and 100 with no history of language or reading issues. We will track the prosody (speech rhythm), language, and reading development of these children to achieve the project objectives, which are (1) to test the direct and indirect effects of prosody on reading comprehension in a model that

NFRF-I awarded 2024: This project focuses on enhancing energy transition planning, recognizing that such plans must: integrate mitigation and adaptation; embrace a justice framework; and be socio culturally embedded within local geographies. This demands direct engagement with the diverse peoples
living and working in those spaces, with special attention to vulnerable groups, such as Indigenous and marginalized communities. Our primary objectives are to 1) co-produce directly applicable knowledge to facilitate local climate adaptation planning that prioritizes justice and wellbeing; 2) generate

openly sharing scientific data were developed to primarily benefit science and scientific researchers. Guidelines for genomics research do not consider the special context of research with Indigenous partners, who have been historically exploited by academic institutions. This project will use a
SSHRC IDG, awarded in 2018 jointly with Genomics Canada. The team has also included the SSHRC Notice of Decision, including ranking and evaluation information. The project seeks to address ethical and cultural challenges related to potential use of genomic data by generating information required
together to generate data and produce research outputs that provide insight into the societal impacts of genomics projects on Indigenous communities who request the research.

This paper overviews the results of three separate, but related economic research projects conducted from 1985 to 1991 and funded by Farming for the Future. The topic of the first two of these concerned export markets for wheat. One might question how such topics relate to the theme of Agri-food
Diversification, which is the focus of this Farming for the Future research conference. The three projects do relate to this theme. They focused on the analysis of diverse and distinct market segments for different types or classes of grains and the relative values of different characteristics of grain. Our
emphasis on wheat and barley markets also reflects the fact that while other special crops provide very useful production and market alternatives for Alberta farmers, the relatively limited market size for many special crops necessitates continued research on the agronomic and economic characteristics of

SSHRC IG awarded 2020: This project will generate rigorous, representative, findings on women's entrepreneurial outcomes and the impact of specific regional ecosystems, using intersectional analytical techniques. It will build on a well-established adult population survey, the Global
Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Canada, that has collected data over the past two decades (2002-06 and 2013-2020 inclusive). From 2021-24, we will develop and refine special question modules on entrepreneurial ecosystems, performance outcomes, and socio-demographic background to be added to the core GEM Canada
