Feminist Health Research Conference
Funded 2020-2021
By Medical Herstory.
"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. "

Black Graduate Students’ Association Conference 2021
Funded 2020-2021
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. "

University of Alberta Permaculture Group Aquaponics Research Facility
Funded 2019-2020
From Funding Recipient(s):
"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."
