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.

Development of Integrated Circuits for 10 Tb/s Space-Qualified Intelligent Optical Transceivers
1016656
However, they will also have to do this while travelling at speeds in excess of 18,000 km/h and being bombarded by high-energy particles. This project will require robust designs of advanced integrated circuits for fibre-optic transceivers with a high number of high-speed channels for relaying data between computer chips inside a satellite.

Ytterbium Disilicate-based Environmental Barrier Coatings for SiC/SiC Ceramic Matrix Composites – Maximizing Water Vapour Attack Resistance
1014207
The use of ceramic-based turbine materials provides higher fuel efficiency, cost and fuel savings, and lower environmental impact. This Project seeks to decrease the porosity of thermal sprayed EBCs by application of a sealant material, so that the coatings become impermeable to water vapour.
