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.

Motion Synthesis for Human Interaction Modeling
1022482
The synthesis of motion data presents a significant opportunity to address key scientific gaps in the study of human activities and interactions, particularly in the context of developing assistive agents to support older adults aging in place. One of the primary challenges in this domain is the scarcity of comprehensive and diverse datasets that accurately capture the intricacies of daily activities and interactions within home environments. Existing datasets often lack the granularity, realism, and size necessary to train AI models effectively, hindering the development and deployment of assistive technologies tailored to the specific needs of older adults. Furthermore, the synthesis of motion data allows augmenting existing datasets or generating entirely new datasets that encompass a broader range of activities and scenarios, thereby enabling more robust and generalizable AI models. By bridging this data gap through AI-driven synthesis, new opportunities can be unlocked for studying human behavior, understanding social dynamics, and ultimately designing more personalized and effective assistive agents to support older adults in maintaining their independence and quality of life while aging in place
