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.

Realizing the potential of atrificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) to guide experimental discovery of acid-stable and platinum group metal-free (PGM-free) oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts
970540
The Project will develop and apply data-driven and machine learning methods to the experimental discovery of new acid-stable materials for the oxygen evolution reaction. The Project comprises the University of Toronto portion of a three-way collaboration between the National Research Council, the University of Toronto, and Carnegie Mellon University. Overall, the collaborative Project will seek to develop the necessary datasets and methods needed to investigate an important class of candidate materials: mixed metal oxides. Additionally, the Project will investigate generative models to improve the relevance of identified candidates and to accelerate the experimental testing methods of these as well their synthesis and characterization. The University of Toronto will optimize the synthesis methodology and proceed to synthesize and fully characterize a number of candidate materials identified using the accelerated testing methods developed.
