== Project Updates and Communication ==
  −
Once a project is approved and the MOU is signed, we update the wiki with the project's name and a brief description (found below). Upon project completion, we create a project one-pager that is also uploaded to our [[CRI Supported Projects|CRI Supported Projects - wiki (gccollab.ca)]].
     −
We occasionally give presentations to various departments and agencies to raise awareness of our work. These presentations may include information on currently funded or previously funded projects. Before including any project details, we reach out to the project lead for content verification.

| Transport Canada (TC) || Light Sport Aircraft || Transport Canada is conducting a regulatory experiment to assess the suitability of Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) for use in flight training. The project aims to evaluate LSA certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in Canadian flight training environments. Working with selected flight schools, Transport Canada will gather data on aircraft performance, reliability, and training quality. The experiment seeks to inform potential updates to regulations, potentially allowing more modern and environmentally friendly aircraft options for pilot training while maintaining safety standards.

| Health Canada (HC) || Advanced Therapeutic Products Framework for CAR-T Products || Health Canada is developing a regulatory sandbox for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy products manufactured at the point of care. This experiment aims to test a co-creation process for developing tailored regulatory requirements under Health Canada's Advanced Therapeutic Products pathway. The project will involve collaboration with various stakeholders to design market access authorization requirements for these innovative cancer treatments. The goal is to create an adaptive regulatory framework that maintains safety standards while facilitating faster access to new therapies.

|Canada Energy Regulator (CER)||Assessing Compliance of Potential New Requirements to Prevent and Address Impacts to Indigenous Rights and Interests: A Regulatory Experiment.
| The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is conducting a regulatory experiment to develop and test new requirements for preventing and addressing impacts to Indigenous rights and interests related to energy infrastructure projects. The experiment aims to enhance Indigenous involvement in compliance verification and oversight processes. Using a co-creation approach with Indigenous communities and other stakeholders, the CER will develop tailored regulatory requirements and test a joint compliance verification process. The project seeks to strengthen measures to protect Indigenous rights while informing updates to CER's regulatory framework.
