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.

Location based grain quality data for crop input optimization use
ACT-RI-354
This project aims to develop an advance grain quality assessment system integrating machine vision and near-infrared technology to accurately evaluate visual and non-visual attributes of key crops like CWRS, CWAD, lentils, peas, barley and potentially canola. These quality assessments will be geo-located and mapped in real time to provide quality level insight into field performance. these quality maps can then be used, along with other field level assessments, to optimize crop input use.

Piloting Plant Fiber-Based Polymer Blends: Leveraging Alberta's Feedstock for Sustainable Innovation
ACT-RI-360
This project aims to conduct a pilot study of forming Plant Fiber-Based (PFB) polymer blend using Canadian feedstock, that no only can produce drinking straws but other cutlery/food packing products. The project uses locally sourced plant fiber materials such as sugar beet pulp, spent grain, hemp processing by-products, and starch as a by-product of pea processing, combining with Plant Plus' property binding agent PPB49 to produce plant fiber-based polymer blend. This cutting-edge production costs and the carbon footprint of the final products, representing a circular economy model towards the long-term goal of sustainable culture and food processing
