The Alva Foundation funds organizations conducting research and/or developing services that address significant risk factors in early childhood development, prenatal through four years of age. It is our philosophy that healthy childhood development sets in place many mental, physical, and social attributes that determine the ability to develop into a healthy adult. We are interested in helping organizations that work in the areas of prevention. Research will look into risk factors that limit healthy early childhood development, prenatal to four years old; including but not limited to risk factors of a genetic, medical, societal and neurological nature. Increasingly, new research is proving that healthy early childhood development sets in place, often for life, many neurological, social, and learning factors and abilities. Applications will be considered from across Canada.

RFP: Source Water Protection Cost/Benefit Tool

admin — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 18:13:03 -0500

Effective source water protection (SWP) programs consider multiple water and land use management goals (e.g., public health protection, ecosystem protection, competing uses, etc.) and typically require extensive collaboration with related stakeholders (e.g., agriculture, industry, municipal wastewater managers, stormwater managers, etc.). Because SWP is largely a voluntary action with little or no regulatory mechanisms for enforcing source water management practices, SWP programs must succeed on their own merits from practical, political, and economic standpoints. Water resource managers faced with tight operating budgets and competing demands for financial and human resources need access to the full range of costs and benefits for specific practices before developing a SWP plan or program. Compounding this challenge are two prominent factors: (1) Source water protection is inherently site-specific, and (2) Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are successful in one situation may not be practical or appropriate in another situation. A web-enabled tool that provides a high level “road map” that can orient a SWP novice to the different types of BMPs and organizational approaches that may be more or less appropriate for a given situation, and a tool that estimates the full range of site-specific costs and benefits for those source water protection practices will be valuable for water resource managers and other watershed stakeholders.This research will develop a user-friendly, web-enabled tool for water resource managers and other watershed stakeholders to estimate the triple bottom line (i.e. economic, social and environmental) costs and benefits of specific source water protection practices.

RFP: Synthesis Document On Pipe Location and Leakage Management

admin — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 18:14:07 -0500

The drinking water industry is capital intensive, with the majority of that capital being buried pipes, valves, etc., associated with the distribution system. The maintenance and repair of buried infrastructure is becoming increasingly important due to concerns associated with the potential health, economic and societal impacts of infrastructure failure. In addition, infrastructure location and leak detection technologies that were the topic of research only a few years ago are now more evolved, available, and affordable. Many small systems have limited resources to apply to pipe location and leakage management, resulting in added costs and/or wasted water. While considerable research and application experience has been gained in the last few years on pipe locating and leak detecting technology, this information has not been presented in a manner specifically framed for use by small systems. Furthermore, some emerging technologies and improved practices may be particularly effective for small systems. This project focuses on determining which pipe location and leakage management technologies are most applicable for small systems and how that information can be transferred to small system operators effectively. This research will produce a technical guidance manual, along with recommendations for outreach that will assist small system operators to locate buried pipe and manage water leakage more effectively. The project findings will be synthesized from existing research results and case studies.

Development of a Protocol to Predict the Formation of Nitrosamines While Minimizing the Formation of Regulated DBPs

Romana — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:13:00 -0400

Objective: Since the promulgation of the D/DBP Rule and the Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, many surface-water plants are using chloramines for post-disinfection with primary disinfection from a stronger oxidant (chlorine, chlorine dioxide or ozone). However, an emerging concern with the use of chloramines is the formation of nitrosamines. Of all nitrosamines, N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) has received most of the attention. Recent research is showing that pretreatment with chlorine, chlorine dioxide or ozone can destroy or transform some of the NDMA precursors.
This project would develop a bench-scale test protocol to determine the formation of both nitrosamines and regulated disinfection by-products (DBPs) for a wide range of drinking water qualities under conditions that are representative of typical distribution systems. The protocol will then be used for a range of waters to evaluate the formation and control of nitrosamines while minimizing the formation of regulated DBPs for various pre-oxidation configurations at typical CT levels.

Interpreting Real-Time Online Monitoring Data For Water Quality Event Detection

Romana — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 02:15:57 -0400

Historically, distribution system water quality monitoring has been used to simply maintain water quality within given parameters. For this application, a high-and-low alarm setting for individual distribution system monitors is sufficient to give operators notice when water quality is approaching unacceptable levels. However, with ever present threat of water contamination through cross connections, backflow, or intentional activities, the objectives of the monitoring has moved towards being able to detect and identify water quality abnormalities that cannot be explained by incidents at the plant or by hydraulic events such as operation of a tank or valves.
The proposed research project should develop an event detection system that will retrieve water quality and operating data from a SCADA system and use some type of advanced correlation techniques, statistical analyses, clustering techniques, and/or other algorithms to examine these data, compare them with predictions based on historical utility data, and output a system status indicator which can alert a system operator to a potential problem.
The project would develop a universal and reliable framework for interpreting real-time online monitoring data by examining and correlating existing sensor and hydraulic data as well as operational information to identify water quality abnormalities and minimize false alarms.

Innovation Grants

Romana — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:37:32 -0400

Innovation grants have been created to support innovative, creative problem solving in cancer research. As competition for grant funding increases, peer review panels become more conservative and risk averse, emphasizing feasibility more than innovation. The goal of this new CCSRI grant program is to support unconventional concepts, approaches or methodologies to address problems in cancer research. Innovation projects will include elements of creativity, curiosity, investigation, exploration and opportunity. Successful projects may be based on “high risk” ideas, but will have the potential for “high reward” (i.e. to significantly impact our understanding of cancer and generate new approaches to combat the disease by introducing novel ideas into use or practice).

Prevention Translation Supplement Award

Romana — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:39:23 -0400

These projects are expected to take existing evidence and transition it into an intervention research project. A central focus of this funding program and the reason for its prioritization by the Canadian Cancer Society Prevention Initiative, is to provide an opportunity to build on existing cancer research findings and turn them into cancer prevention action. Applications are invited from current Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute grant holders across all disciplines to submit pilot studies that will translate their research findings into identifying effective interventions that reduce the cancer incidence in the human population.

Multisector Team Grants in Prevention Research

Romana — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:41:46 -0400

• tobacco control
• occupational and environmental carcinogens (O&E)
• UV radiation exposure
• healthy eating and physical activity
• basic research including better understanding of cancer etiology and gene-based studies related to risk reduction and prevention
The Society hopes to stimulate group interaction based on the premise that high impact work requires complementary skills and can be best carried out through a group effort. A central focus of this funding program is the requirement that investigators work collaboratively with the Canadian Cancer Society and clearly describe how the proposed research will address key cancer prevention and/or risk reduction priorities to influence Canadian Cancer Society programs, activities, and/or public policy work.

Impact Grants

Romana — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 02:00:07 -0500

The Impact Grant program is intended to contribute to the scientific idea ‘pipeline’ by supporting significant progression in cancer research programs, from individual investigators or multidisciplinary teams, that are in the continuum from basic high impact discovery to translational work of direct relevance to the clinic. Impact grants will accelerate and focus the knowledge gained from scientific findings, in the short or long term, into outcomes that will significantly advance understanding of cancer and improve scientific knowledge, which will result in optimized patient care, improved cancer treatment or reduced cancer burden. Impact grants are to provide funding to support ideas that promote major advancement in research programs, whether at the fundamental discovery stage (such as studies involving model organisms that demonstrate potential for impact) through to applied research (such as patient or population based proposals).
