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.

Mapping a Black Hole Accretion Flow with JWST/NIRSpec
24JWGO3A06
The objectives of the project include mapping the velocity structure of the swirl, comparing it with state-of-the-art MHD simulations, measuring the black hole's mass, examining Bondi accretion, probing radio jet interactions, and searching for hidden cooling flows.

The first multi-scale and multi-phase characterization of black hole feedback at z>6
24JWGO3A07
It has been long believed that such accreting SMBHs play a significant role in shaping the evolution of their host galaxies, yet the exact mechanisms remain largely shrouded in mystery. This project will map, for the first time, the physical conditions of the gas around the central SMBH and reveal its impact on the host galaxy.

Détection en temps réel des agents pathogènes d'origine alimentaire
1029484
La technologie des capteurs sera développée parallèlement à une plate-forme automatisée d'échantillonnage et de traitement capable de fonctionner de manière indépendante dans une usine de transformation alimentaire et de traitement des eaux. À l'issue du projet, le système automatisé Kraken sera capable de prélever, d'analyser, de stocker, de transmettre des données et de détecter des bactéries pathogènes à de faibles concentrations, le tout en temps réel et avec une intervention humaine minime, voire inexistante. La technologie d'Ecoli Sense permettra d'éviter les rappels d'aliments liés à des pathogènes tout au long de la chaîne d'approvisionnement en identifiant la contamination par des pathogènes au cours de la transformation des aliments et en disposant d'informations sur la qualité des aliments en temps réel.

3D spatial UF membrane & XL module for solid/liquid separation of industrial wastewater
1029638
Thetis Environmental has developed a novel 3D spatial membrane that provides superior productivity, improved membrane strength and durability, and reduced energy consumption in the high strength, high suspended solids water treatment market. The 3D membrane will be implemented in Thetis’ patented PermaFlux™ technology for this market. The new PermaFlux™ XL module (with 3D membranes) increases membrane active surface area and further decreases cost and system complexity.
