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.

SmartQool - Cooling Energy Reduction for Mission Critical Facilities
954179
Ever increasing data growth due to the changing market dynamics (work from home due to COVID-19, 5G and IoT connections etc.) is significantly impacting the energy utilization and its resulting costs for medium data centers (>2000 racks and <10000 racks) as well as for large data centers (>10000 racks). Cooling energy consumption is currently the second largest cost driver for such data centers. Our solution will provide an AI & Machine Learning based solution, that will continuously sync up all the cooling equipment (including CRAC units, HVACs, Chillers etc.) at the data centers to optimize the air flow and the equipment utilization thus resulting in ~25%+ cooling energy cost reduction.

Multi-User Remote Avatar System for Immersive Training in Virtual Reality
954607
We create learning modules for immersive training in VR as well as a platform to distribute the lessons to trainees with interfaces for trainers and administrators. Natural-looking high-quality digital human avatars are critical to effective training in VR for both branching scenario creation as well as remote collaboration and teaching. The XR Content Authoring suite will allow us to significantly speed up content development time by a factor of 10x. The Multi-User Remote Avatar System will be a key component of that system to enable natural digital representation of human trainees, and trainers in a virtual environment. The avatar system will also be used in content creation for pre-recorded human acting in training scenario creation.
