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.

Physics enforced AI for multi-scale multi-phase process and material design: optimal direct air carbon capture as an example
1007608
Removing carbon in the atmosphere is called direct air carbon
capture (DACC) and can be viewed as an emerging industry producing
carbon credit.
This project seeks to design a novel DACC system based on fibrous
material.

Biological Grounding of Continuous Reinforcement Learning via the Basal Ganglia
1008399
The aim of this project is to take an existing high-level abstract model of how reinforcement learning (RL) occurs, and ground it in detailed biology and molecular-level dynamics of the basal ganglia. That is, the project team will show how these low-level molecular details combine with biological structures (neurons and synapses in the basal ganglia) to produce overt behavior.
