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.

Scaling and Diversification of Aquaponics Digestate and Fish Feed
1037336
The goal of this project is to scale the processing of solid fish waste from the koi aquaculture system from pilot to demonstration commercial scale, trial the digestion process using other sources of aquaculture waste (trout, salmon) and water sources (municipal, well, rain, and RAS), trial the fertilizers produced on a diverse range of crops (fruit, vegetables, grains; greenhouse and field crops), and trial different novel aquaponic fish feed recipes designed using sustainable ingredients and different price points.

Germany ZIM 15 – UAPM - Underwater Asset and Protection Management
1037626
“As part of the international consortium project “UAPM”, this project will focus on developing next-generation underwater quantum LiDAR for monitoring and securing subsea assets. It targets structural decay of oil and gas installations, environmental impact of offshore infrastructure, and protection of communication cables from sabotage. Led by Phantom Photonics (Canada) and RUPHOS (Germany), the system combines SONAR-like range with optical resolution, enabling precise, frequent data collection. This breakthrough supports predictive maintenance, environmental compliance, and security for operators of energy and telecom assets.

Optimization of Greenhouse and Tissue Culture Lab Operations for Cannabis Production
1037901
This initiative enhances cannabis production by optimizing greenhouse cultivation and tissue culture propagation. In the greenhouse, trials assess lighting, stress indicators, irrigation, and climate impacts to guide automation upgrades and reduce cost-per-gram. In tissue culture, experiments refine lighting and starting material maturity to accelerate plantlet readiness and improve consistency. Together, these projects support scalable, data-driven improvements in yield, efficiency, and reliability.
