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.

Robot Perception, Modelling and Manipulation of Fluids, Powders, and Granular Media for Self-Driving Labs
1022498
Automating the search through the chemical space of an estimated 10^20 to 10^60 drug-like molecules for a subset that have desired characteristics and features will be a major enabler for materials and drug discovery, chemical synthesis and medicine-by-design. However, research into fully autonomous chemistry labs that close the loop of i) optimal experiment design, ii) experiment execution (synthesis), and iii) observation and evaluation (characterization), are still in their infancy. A major challenge is that while today's robots have made significant strides in manipulating rigid objects, they lack the perceptual and dexterous capabilities needed to work directly with fluids and powders, which are omnipresent in chemistry labs. This is a critical research area as, in general, perceiving and manipulating fluids, powders and non-rigid materials is recognized as a longstanding challenge in the robotics community. Within the context of automated chemistry in human-centric labs, the main technical difficulties are the perception transparent and non-rigid materials, along with the lack of fast and accurate physical simulators for liquids, powders, and granular media. Existing physical simulators, for example, are either real-time or accurate, but not both, which makes planning and controlling the robots via visual feedback challenging and error prone. In this research, the project aims to develop machine learning methods to address the perceptions, modeling and simulation challenges associated with transparency, powders, liquids, and granular materials. The project seeks to then utilize these methods to develop learning-based control and perception methods that will enable general-purpose robot arms to manipulate non-rigid martials that commonly appear in chemistry labs. The experimental results will demonstrate fundamental chemistry operations such as pouring with different glassware and material types. The experiments will be carried out within Acceleration Consortium, University of Toronto, and NRC labs, showing reproducibility outside of a single lab. The research will complement the NRC PI’s existing AI4D projects on robotic chemists, which are focused on the transfer of lab items, but not pouring and material dynamics
