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.

Laue FFNN Prototype
1029958
The goal of this project is to develop a fully-automated product for use in the quality inspection of turbine blades using the X-ray Laue technique. For some time, the missing link in bringing such a product to market has been the intervention of an operator when determining the orientations of the grain(s) being imaged. This project would build upon proof-of-concept examples in the literature, whereby a feed-forward neural network is trained to extract the orientations of one or more crystal grains from a synchrotron Laue image, and apply this approach to the analysis of laboratory Laue images (which are qualitatively lower-resolution).

4-D AI- physicochemical detection of nanoplastics
1031579
The Project goals are to optimize the design of the McGill University innovation, nanodigital inline holography microscopy (AI-Nano-DIHM), such that it can be portable and deliver accurate results in real-time, remote settings of nano and microplastic detection, and four-dimensional physicochemical capability that is necessary to enable more precise identification of pollution hotspots and enhance the remediation and recycling of nano- and microplastic pollution, both in Canada and globally. Existing commercial technologies must support in situ, real-time detection while also providing physicochemical information. Despite the availability of numerous research technologies, there remains an unmet need for real-time and in-situ, four-dimensional physicochemical analysis of nano/microplastic particles. The team will conduct tests and comparisons with input from several independent stakeholders and develop data needed for modelling and sound policy. This Project will enable the further development and commercialization of the AI-Nano-DIHM technology, addressing critical environmental challenges.
