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.

Further Examination of Blended Learning for Offshore Safety and Survival Competency
1019585
Past blended learning efficacy research has demonstrated a clear benefit for skill acquisition and retention in domains such as aviation, medicine, and academics; however, no research has specifically examined outcomes related to safety and survival training in the offshore context. Therefore, the primary goal of this project is to continue exploring the effectiveness of blended learning (digital content for theory combined with practical evaluation) in the context of offshore safety and survival training.

IDS-DXF – Integrated Design Suite -DXF Module.
1020683
The objective of this project is to develop a high-fidelity CAD file format conversion tool within the IDS(TM) platform, specifically designed to convert DDD files to conventional industrial CAD formats (such as *dxf,*Ifc,*obj,*gltf). This tool will address the complexities of 3D data structures, ensuring accurate and efficient conversions essential for interoperability across diverse CAD systems. The project involves thorough literature and patent searches, development of proprietary algorithms for handling intricate geometric entities, and comprehensive documentation covering software architecture, user guides, and API integration.

Sibli AI investment research platform prototype
1020780
Institutional investors leverage Sibli technology to gain an information advantage, reduce blind spots, and improve performance by processing unstructured data, identifying key insights, and delivering them to portfolio managers and analysts. This empowers better investment decisions by defining and monitoring trends and events like supply chain disruptions, product launches, and competitive pressures.
The objective over the next year is to develop a platform that can provide investors with timely information linked to their theses and research processes.
This requires the creation of custom models, algorithmic methods, and model optimization techniques, refinement of GenAI techniques, as well as build-out of an application layer.
