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.

Seven generations for wood: Wood fibre insulation
1016135
The construction and demolition sector in Canada produces about 4 million
tonnes of waste per year. Of this, an estimated 30-60% is wood waste
which is largely discarded in landfills. Wood fibre insulation is currently not
produced in Canada, and is typically made with new lumber or from pulp
and sawmill waste and petrochemical-based adhesives and additives.
The project will develop a method for making wood fibre insulation from
salvaged wood waste from the construction and demolition sector. The
project includes developing methods for making wood fibre from waste
wood products, researching bio-based adhesives and treatments for wood
fibre insulation board production, and testing the performance of the novel
wood fibre products. Upcycling waste wood into new construction products
will cycle wood back into the built environment, extend wood lifespan, add
value and longevity to a valuable material, and reduce GHG emissions and
new resources required for new construction projects.

Model-Based Reinforcement Learning Robots for Transparent Vessel Identification and Manipulation in Self-Driving Labs
1016248
Automation in chemistry labs expedites experimentation and minimizes errors, facilitating more cost-effective material and drug discovery. The project aims to automate chemistry labs by developing transferable, adaptable, and generalizable robotic systems using Reinforcement Learning (RL). The project is designed to tackle the challenges of integrating robotic arms into chemistry labs, focusing on minimizing data requirements and enhancing real-world applications of RL. Key objectives include developing a model-based RL method that generalizes across different robotic platforms, creating robust and transferable RL agents, and ensuring the real-time adaptability of robots to evolving lab tasks. The project addresses the unique challenge of manipulating transparent objects and aims to implement high frequency control for agile and responsive robot behavior. By extending the Remote-Local Distributed (ReLoD) system to model-based RL, the project aims to refine the real-time learning and control of lab robots, setting the stage for widespread adoption of automated, efficient, and intelligent lab systems.
