CIHR is designing a new open suite of programs & associated peer review. The current suite of open programs (including the OOGP) is being replaced by the Foundation Scheme & Project Scheme. The transition begins with the Fall 2014 Foundation Scheme competition (with restricted eligibility), and
will be complete in 2016, where there will be two Project (Spring & Fall) & one Foundation (Fall) competition per year. This discussion focused on what is currently known about changes to CIHR's open programs with a focus on the Fall 2014 Foundation Scheme competition.

a special purpose simulation tool called ISP (integrated simulation-based planning). The ISP’s main framework is a simulation-based network analysis based on a precedence diagram method. The ISP tool application has been demonstrated with a hypothetical road construction project. The approach is
Cost and schedule integration can improve efficiencies in construction planning and control since they are key constraints in project delivery and closely related. This research provides a framework for cost and schedule integration, and transforms the model to simulation-based planning in which
the uncertainties of project cost and schedule are evaluated through computer simulation. This has been achieved through explicitly incorporating risk, resource, and detailed operation into a work-packaging model. The developed framework has been implemented in the Simphony.Net modeling environment as

The Application of Front End Planning and Special Purpose Simulation Templates to Drainage Tunnel Construction
DownloadSpring 2015
The Construction Industry Institute (CII) has a best practice under the heading “Front End Planning” (1995) that is meant to ensure that projects are as complete, as optimized, and as certain as possible throughout the project life cycle. In order to demonstrate this, the Project Definition Rating
Index (PDRI) was optimized to suit underground drainage tunnel construction. The rating index has been successfully used for 2 of 3 key area workshops to demonstrate the usefulness of this tool to both the case study and the construction industry. A special purpose simulation template was created for
use in the simulation environment Simphony, specifically for underground drainage tunnel construction. This proved to be extremely helpful in the front end planning of the case construction project to confirm alternate construction alignments, construction methods, and what type of shifts and crews

The fast-paced progress associated with offsite construction projects necessitates special attention toward project design, estimation, and planning. Traditionally, the relationship between project design and cost lacks clarity during the early design stages of a project. While design efforts aim
to improve the project performance, compromises are made in order to meet a desired targeted cost. Target cost modelling (TCMd) provides an ideal environment to explore the available alternatives and reveal the associated financial and environmental impact on the project. Structural design, building
envelope, heating and cooling systems, delivery of modular units, and onsite assembly are analyzed and standardized through a set of construction, costing, and energy factors in order to illustrate their indirect/direct effect on the project design, cost, and energy efficiency. This research presents a

relation to the provenance metadata. Building on this research, visualization is tested as a means of addressing challenges in capturing provenance metadata and fulfilling contemporary uses of metadata for digital special collections. An environmental scan of eight visualization projects and case studies
This thesis seeks to examine the current state of the provenance metadata of rare books and manuscripts in digital special collections, and how that metadata can be enhanced using visualization tools. The multi-faceted nature of provenance is addressed, as well as the standards used to capture
provenance metadata. Reasons for the development of these standards are identified and grounded in the historical development of both archives and special collections. Contemporary roles of provenance metadata in facilitating big data, interoperability, linked data, and data curation are also presented. A
