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.

High-performance marine computing cluster
969443
This increased computing capacity will be accessed by both NRC and MUN
researchers together with a broader collaborative network that will support Ocean Supercluster (OSC) activities in the areas of green ship technologies to mitigate underwater noises from ships and to improve ship efficiency;
simulations of harsh ocean environments, including large waves, ice and iceberg movements; safe operation of ships and offshore structures in harsh ocean environments; digital twins for operation and maintenance of ocean
assets; and marine autonomous surface ships.

Atypical fermentation platforms for the production of value-added products from renewable sources
962071
In support of the PIC Supercluster, via the Sustainable Protein Production program, activities will explore new markets and applications for total pulse production by evaluating the utility of pulse starch as an alternative fermentation feedstock to produce higher value products. In support of the Oceans Supercluster, through the Ocean Supercluster Support Program, other activities will explore cost-effective approaches to fermentation using marine anaerobic bacteria as novel sources of ingredients in the lucrative cosmetic and personal care market.

Mitacs Internships for NRC collaborative R&D programs
963517
To enhance Canada’s abilities in transformative, high-risk, high-reward research with the potential for game-changing scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs, the NRC will contribute funding towards Mitacs Internships at eligible host organizations that align with the Government of Canada’s reimagined support for science and innovation being realized through the creation of the NRC’s Challenge Programs and Supercluster Support Programs.
Mitacs is a key player at the interface between academic and industry research, will enable the NRC to leverage its resources and rapidly increase the extent and effectiveness of its engagement with the academic, not-for-profit, and private sectors.

Investigating the Potential for Indigenous Participation in the Protein Industries Canada Supercluster
IAFSI-018
The objective of this project is to host a two-day summit that would bring together up to 200 First Nations leaders, Protein Industries Canada and other industry leaders, to provide information related to the Supercluster development, generate collaboration and inclusion, discuss opportunities, and gather data to assess program needs in relation to interests and requirements of First Nations and agriculture sector partners.
