From Event Organizer(s):
"On behalf of the Science FUNdamentals Foundation of Alberta, we would like to sincerely thank the Alberta Public Interest Research Group for being a Platinum Sponsor of Science FUNweek 2021. With the help of APIRG, we were able to reach over 11,500 participants! While many of our viewers included families and classrooms from the Edmonton area, our event also hosted attendees across Canada and from countries such as the United States, Ireland, Ukraine, and Lebanon. Through the support of APIRG, we have been able to fulfill our commitment to “provide accessible science education for all” during these truly unprecedented times. Adapting our annual science exhibition in accordance with COVID-19 public health directives proved challenging, and so receiving APIRG’s support during these uncertain times has aided our organization immensely. It has been incredibly inspiring to have teachers, parents and students express the impact of their Science FUNweek experiences. We are so grateful for your support of our event and accessible science education. This sponsorship will ensure financial sustainability for future FUNday events and has undoubtedly positively impacted the curious minds of many young scientists."

Understanding organizational responses in Edmonton to reports of hate crimes and/or incidents from the perspective of those reporting is a study that aims to describe the experiences of people who have reported hate crimes and/or incidents.
The research questions are:
What are the experiences of people who report hate crimes and/or incidents to organizations (e.g.,. police, social agencies, workplaces) in Edmonton?
How do individuals who have reported hate crimes and/or incidents experience organizational responses to these reports?
What are the implications of these experiences for organizations that respond to hate crimes and/or incidents?
From Funding Recipient:
"I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Alberta Public Interest Research Group for funding the compensation of research participants in a community-based study looking to understand the experiences of people who have reported hate crimes or incidents to organizations in Edmonton. It is my hope and the hope of my research partners that more knowledge in this area can inform the service delivery of organizations that receive reports of hate crimes and incidents. APIRG's support helped make this research a reality!"

"We are hand weaving a series of textiles to explore and reclaim Palestinian cultural heritage. Thanks to research funding from APIRG, we were able to purchase books and interview individuals with practical weaving knowledge and knowledge of Palestinian textile heritage. This research has allowed us to make monumental progress in our work. Our project would not be possible without APIRG's support, and we are immensely grateful! "

"Youreka Edmonton aims to educate motivated high school students in the composition and presentation of a research project. This year, our initiative was funded in large part by APIRG, who graciously provided revenue that was essential in enhancing our student experience. Through their generosity, we were able to award $500 in cash prizes to our top research teams, and provide every student of ours with a full size scientific poster to remember their experience. We cannot thank APIRG enough for their generosity, inclusivity and support."
