"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."

"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! "

An experimental journey that explores and reclaims diminishing Palestinian heritage, craft, and identity. Each study incrementally builds to the final piece in the series: a handwoven Kaffiyah, a scarf that distinctly symbolizes Palestinian identity.

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."

"Thank you APIRG for funding Medical Herstory's second annual Feminist Health Research Conference. At this conference we pushed boundaries of what counts as research, whose voices are heard, and what the future of health(care) could look like from a feminist lens. The event brought together leading researchers, advocates, and practitioners from all around the world. We offered hands on workshops, lived experience panels, healthcare professionals perspectives, and headliners who are changing the future of gender health equity. We can't wait to continue this work and thank you APIRG for supporting Medical Herstory's mission to eliminate sexism, shame, and stigma from health experiences. "

E-conference titled "The Black Student Experience in Academia"
https://bgsa2021conference.artsrn.ualberta.ca/
"The University of Alberta’s Black Graduate Students’ Association would like to thank APIRG for its generous support and contribution toward making the BGSA 2021 Conference a huge success. The allotted funding ensured that we compensated our participants appropriately for the time and effort they expended in speaking about anti-Black racism, a topic that often requires vast outlays of emotional labor. Our dealings with you throughout the application and reimbursement process was seamless. Notably, Shima Robinson ensured that we had all the information needed to submit a strong application. Once our application was approved, Meara meticulously educated us on the reimbursement process. Furthermore, APIRG helped amplify our promotional material on Instagram, ensuring that news about the conference was spread to a wide audience. We are especially thankful for this assistance, as it helped increase the BGSA’s visibility across the student community at the University of Alberta, and the province, more generally. "

We appreciate that they understood the value of this service despite the fact that it is addressing a need in a very specific field. As an organization, they aligned with the values of the project so we were confident they would understand our call to action, and we are proud to be affiliated with them. Thank you for the financial support to make Vector_Vault a reality!"

"The University of Alberta Permaculture group would like to extend a sincere thank you to APIRG for their support and funding. Our group focuses on sustainability by working towards growing food in an aquaponics system on campus and providing outreach activities in the community to students. This past year we started contacting schools and organizations to provide educational sessions that tie into the curriculum of elementary and secondary schools and to promote sustainability. We used APIRG funding to purchase materials for these learning events and were able to reach out to a school recently to do a virtual outreach activity. The demos we put together allow students to better understand the concepts being taught and were made possible by APIRG funding. Furthermore, APIRG funding has allowed us to purchase T-shirts with the University of Alberta Permaculture group logo so we are better recognized at schools, events, and sustainability fairs. Also, we were able to purchase equipment to help record our system, which will be used for outreach activities. Giving students the opportunity to see an aquaponics system, even if they cannot see it in person, will be a memorable experience and help promote sustainability. This grant allows us to continue to serve our mission of outreach for years to come. The ability to educate and excite people about the amazing sustainable technologies that can change the way we eat and live can not be understated and the support we received from APIRG has been an instrumental part in the initiation of that mission."
