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.

Develop a Process to Remove Lead from Barite (BaSO4)
970095
The primary objective of the proposed project is to research and develop a process to upgrade barite (BaSO4) from API to industrial grades (97%+) and, more importantly, to significantly reduce the lead content
found in the final product. This will be achieved by developing a test procedure to upgrade barite via flotation and then remove lead via leaching. Testing will also provide the opportunity to obtain critical design criteria to ultimately engineer the required commercial scale processing facility. The technology and ability to produce an industrial-grade barite product will provide a significantly more robust market for the final product.

Traffic Signal Analysis and Optimization using Connected Cars Location Data
970096
Traffic signals are the major components of cities' traffic systems that require continuous maintenance and adjustment for optimal operation using signal performance measures (SPF). Currently, SPF, such as delay and number of stops, can be obtained from expensive and difficult-to-maintain traffic sensors, including cameras, loop detectors, and radars. This project will develop a cost-effective SPF system using connected cars GPS data, aka probe vehicles, using no physical sensors. Connected cars generate massive car data attributes that share the location, speed, engine status, etc. of vehicles to the car manufacturers and other companies, creating many opportunities for developing services for smart cities such as traffic management.

Universal Digital Vessel
970115
The Universal Digital Vessel (UDV) project will combine the technologies and expertise of Genoa, Virtual Marine, Gastops and Modest Tree to create a relevant digital workspace that can be used by marine personnel in vessel design, construction, operation, maintenance and training innovation, without fear of violating IP rights. Modest Tree’s part of the collaborative project will be processing data through its asset pipeline to create data-driven lesson creation using sequence of instructions. Modest tree will provide expertise in the scenario development and connectivity of Gastops values/simulation and Genoa 3D model into a cohesive scenario demonstrating an operational immersive trainer of onboarding fuel on a ship.

Unified Parameter Filtering across Disparate Business Intelligence & Analytics Systems
970132
This project will deliver the industry’s first, unified filtering mechanism, applicable across disparate Business Intelligence (BI) and Analytics platforms (BI&A). The benefactors of this project will be end users that are required to work with multiple BI&A solutions in order to effectively analyze corporate date. Users will be able to simultaneously analyze data across disparate systems replacing the current way that this type of analysis is performed, which consists of repetitive, error prone, manual interactions.

Advanced Logistics Through Heuristics and AI (ALTHAI)
970134
We shall develop advanced algorithms capable of providing end-to-end, touchless, in-transit, real-time, package-level monitoring of goods as they make their way through the supply chain. The algorithms will allows highly granular monitoring of the goods during transport, storage and transshipping, thereby mitigating todays huge losses and inefficiencies.
The algorithms will run on a multi-tier architecture: embedded in the the field devices that travel with the goods, in the cloud and in the front-end use application.
