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.

Germany ZIM 15 - HILO-Temp - Highly Localized Temperature Sensing - Revolutionizing Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing
1037861
Germany ZIM 15 - This project aims to revolutionize distributed fiber optic sensing by developing compact, cost-effective coherent interrogators. The interrogator targets high spatial resolution temperature monitoring in demanding environments such as aerospace, steel casting, and chemical reactors such as safety-critical applicaitons. Its compact, EMI-immune design enables high resolution over short to medium distances.

TerraScan / Web-GIS Eligibility & Feasibility Application
1037896
Carbon Assessors (13492516 Canada INC) has been operating for nearly 5 years and have developed proprietary tools for assessing and managing carbon assets in a variety of markets (TIER, Voluntary Carbon Market, and Carbon Fuel Markets)
The goal of this project is to create a tool that automates the assessment and management of forest carbon offset projects. The project will include the development of an eligibility algorithm to assess carbon-project feasibility for BC FCOP (Forest Carbon Offset Projects) and VERRA VM0034 (VERRA Voluntary Carbon Methodology) as well as proprietary GIS visualizations and detailed reporting mechanisms.

Risk-Based Engineering Review and Validation of the AquaLogic Vessel
1037897
AquaLogic is developing a novel, fabric-hulled catamaran vessel for bulk freshwater transportation through the ocean. This project will support a structured risk-based validation of the vessel design in collaboration with a third-party that are recognized experts in new marine technology.
The overarching goal of this project is to achieve risk-based validation and third-party recognition of the AquaLogic freshwater transportation vessel’s design, safety principles, and operational protocols.
This project is a key step toward commercialization and will help ensure the vessel is ready for future deployment and approval by transport Canada.

Accelerating In-house Genetics and Embryo Development
1037898
This project will establish an in-house, automated Drosophila embryo microinjection platform to generate transgenic fly lines for R&D and commercial use. This will reduce costs and shorten timelines from plasmid to transgenic fly lines, and enable earlier testing of more construct variants, strengthening Alberta’s bio-based manufacturing capacity.

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.
