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.

The objective of this project is to streamline all operations within PMRI clinical operations by implementing internally developed apps, exclusively created by PMRI employees, to digitally capture clinical data information, create reports and allow remote access for sponsor to monitor their trial. It is imperative that these applications comply with global agencies’ regulations. Given the stringent regulations governing the clinical trials industry, comprehensive understanding and compliance are paramount. Once these applications are developed, they must undergo rigorous testing and validation procedures in compliance with all regulations that govern the clinical trials. This meticulous process ensures the integrity and validity of the data

LoRaWAN Flowie-U

Agreement Number:

1022237

Duration: from Jun 1, 2024 to Mar 16, 2026
Description:

The development of Flowie-U, an externally mounted ultrasonic water flow monitoring device that communicates using the LoRaWAN radio protocol. This will address some market barriers that currently exist with Flowie-O, such as water meter incompatibility, concerns with city utilities, difficult radio environments at some water meter locations and electromagnetic noise clouding water meter signal. Adoption of LoRaWAN will make Alert Labs’ products bidirectionally compatible with the wider ecosystem of LoRaWAN devices thus enabling adoption of more 3rd party solutions to accelerate our service offering while reducing supply chain risks associated with the single source solutions of our current proprietary radio protocol.
