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.

Accelerated Discovery of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Carbon Capture
and Utilization Applications
1017484
The Project aims at the discovery and optimization of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) applications, particularly focusing on ocean carbon capture and electrochemical CO2 conversion. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-driven laboratory automation, the Project aims to rapidly identify and synthesize promising MOF candidates, a task traditionally hindered by the vast chemical diversity and slow experimental processes. The Project objective is to develop an LLM/AI driven framework towards MOF discovery, and then apply this framework towards applications in bicarbonate (ocean capture) and electrochemical CO2 reduction. Alongside these performance metrics, the Project will prioritize properties desirable for CCUS applications, such as moisture stability, synthesizability, low-toxicity, and alignment with industry standards. A significant outcome will be establishing a pioneering ML-guided framework for material discovery, contributing a novel dataset to the scientific community, thereby enhancing research and development in CCUS technologies.
