Through a network called BRIC NS — Building Research for Integrated Primary Health Care, Nova Scotia — Dal researchers are mobilizing health-care professionals, managers, policy makers, learners and citizens in research to re-shape the delivery of care.

Aided by Dal faculty member Sarah Stewart-Clark and the Aquatron research facility, a collaborative effort organized by the Aquaculture Association of Nova Scotia is working to help rebuild a 100-year-old industry in the province.

Debbie Martin of Dal’s Faculty of Health Professions receives Training Grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to expand research capacity, skills and career trajectories of Indigenous early career researchers and trainees.

A collaboration between Dal materials researchers and a local technology company is set to help scientists collect more accurate data on animal behaviour, movement, physiology and the survival of animals in marine and freshwater environments.

David Barclay of Dal's Department of Oceanography is studying how sound moves through muddy seabeds — crucial knowledge for acoustic work related to defense, search and rescue.
