Grants and Contributions

About this information

In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.

The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.

Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

AI Assist: AI Identification of Contaminants of Emerging Concern

Agreement Number:

1026407

Duration: from Dec 15, 2024 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

Wastewater management is a critical aspect of environmental protection and public health. Monitoring the composition of wastewater is essential for identifying pollutants, understanding environmental impact, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique for identifying and quantifying compounds present in complex samples like wastewater. However, the analysis of mass spectrometry data requires expertise and can be time-consuming. The proposed project aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) capability to automate and enhance the analysis of water and wastewater samples based on MS data.

AI Assist: Leveraging Large Language Models to increase productivity of border security

Agreement Number:

1025757

Duration: from Dec 15, 2024 to Jun 30, 2025
Description:

This exploratory project focuses on leveraging large language models (LLMs) to enhance productivity and awareness in edge locations, such as border security, warehouses, and retail.
