Rockmanor Research Canada becomes an official Research Partner of Montreal-based Harvest Performance
On June 11, 2026, Rockmanor Research Canada became an official Research Partner of Harvest Performance. Harvest Performance is led by Founder, and Part-time Professor, Sonia Di Maulo. We could not be more proud to partner with such a forward-thinking, people and relationship-focused consultancy that develops purpose-driven leadership. Dr. Grace attended an official signing ceremony on June 23, 2026 remotely.
Dr. Grace is most interested to partner with Sonia Di Maulo on initiatives that promote the growth mindset and resilience - this aligns with her vision to help others carve paths forward in their growth or rehabilitation. This work focuses on educational leadership and wellbeing with various target groups - be it children and youth, emerging adults, graduate students, professionals, adults, or elderly individuals.
As part of this work, Dr. Grace is leading a research project between Harvest Performance and Tecmilenio University in Mexico - the first positive university in the world that implements positive psychology. The project involves publishing peer-reviewed academic research, knowledge mobilization initiatives, and conference presentations. More news will be available in the next months on this exciting partnership.
This partnership follows after Dr. Grace at Rockmanor Research Canada, Principal of the global research arm, consulted on a research project that was later presented at the IPPA World Congress on Positive Psychology July 2-5 2025, in Brisbane, Australia.
Dr. Grace also consulted on a book chapter. The book chapter will be published toward the latter months of 2026 titled, The Growth Framework: A Catalyst for Educator Wellbeing and Resilience, appearing in edited book "The Wiley Handbook of Wellbeing in School Leadership: Initiatives, Practices, and Structures to Support Flourishing in Schools".

Funding Notification: Dr. Grace awarded funding from ArcticNet for research abstract translation into two Indigenous languages
Dr. Grace was awarded funding from ArcticNet to translate her research on developmental exposure to environmental toxicants and mental health in offspring into two Indigenous languages namely Plains Cree and Inuktut (Nunavik). This ArcticNet funding opportunity is awarded to researchers for translating abstracts of research conducted in the Canadian North, where epidemiological findings linked to her research originated. This work aligns with the Inclusive Science Communication Sharing Branch, Communicating Science in Indigenous Languages Section.
"Translating a research abstract into a local Indigenous language is a sign of respect to the people from the communities where the research took place, and a way to recognize and acknowledge the importance of Indigenous languages for cultural continuity and Indigenous identity."
Dr. Grace is grateful for this opportunity and this work is a contribution to ArcticNet, funded by the Strategic Science Fund.

Launch Announcement: Inclusive Science Communication Sharing Branch
Rockmanor Research Canada is proud to launch the Inclusive Science Communication Sharing Branch. Our first initiative within this branch is the Rockmanor Spaces for Communicating Science in Indigenous Languages. This is a special section that aims to support researchers in making their work more accessible to Indigenous communities through the development of a dedicated resource.
Background:
Research grants in Canada are increasingly providing funding to translate scientific research and abstracts into Indigenous languages for the purpose of knowledge sharing. However, many researchers are unsure which academic or knowledge-sharing platforms accept lay abstracts in Indigenous languages. Lay abstracts refer to content written in plain language that is understandable to non-experts or non-scientists.
Rockmanor Research Canada is addressing this gap by creating a resource for researchers in Canada and beyond. This resource will identify academic journals and reputable, evidence-valuing platforms across multiple disciplines that accept lay abstracts in Indigenous languages to support inclusive knowledge sharing.
We invite you to contact us if you are interested in using this service or if you would like to collaborate with us on this project.
Access to the resource will be via user-based licensed subscriptions, and a service fee paid to Rockmanor Research Canada that supports development and sustainability to keep the resource updated.
