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.

Intelligent Power Switch (iSwitch)
20STDPL04
This project focuses on the development of an Intelligent Power Switch (Intelligent Switch) for use in stratospheric balloon power sub-systems. The Intelligent Switch will provide autonomous output load protection in both short circuit and over current cases, as well as autonomously shut down during an overvoltage or undervoltage condition. In addition, an integrated telemetry system will provide on demand voltage, current, power and temperature for each switch via a serial interface. The Intelligent Switch will simplify the design of stratospheric balloon power subsystems by integrating autonomous load safety features with telemetry and command via a serial bus interface.
