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.

Catalyst Coated Membranes Using Fluorine-Free Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Hydrogen Technologies: An Accelerated Materials Discovery Approach
1016358
The Project's primary goal is to explore and demonstrate fluorine-free ionic polymers as replacements for perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer (PFSA) in catalyst coated membranes (CCMs) of electrochemical energy conversion devices, leveraging accelerated materials discovery methods. This initiative is crucial in light of the impending prohibition of PFSA as a 'forever chemical', harmful to the environment. A longer-term aim is to develop a materials discovery method for CCMs that are not only fluorine?free but also free of precious metal-based electrocatalysts. Key outputs include feasibility studies and workplans for developing platforms to optimize fabrication conditions of fluorine-free electrocatalyst layers and handling systems for preparing and characterizing CCMs. Outcomes involve establishing a community of practice through workshops, laying groundwork for MAP modules integration into existing MAP ecosystems, and fostering industry interactions. This will significantly facilitate the commercialization of fluorine-free polymers and membranes for electrochemical energy conversion devices.
