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.

Revalorisation des composants hybrides métal-composite en fin de vie
1006779
L'industrie automobile est actuellement confrontée à des défis
économiques et environnementaux importants liés à l’électrification des
transports et à la nécessité d’améliorer l'efficacité énergétique des
véhicules. En conséquence, il y a eu au cours des dernières années une
forte augmentation de la demande pour des composants plus légers afin de
permettre la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES)
provenant des véhicules à moteur à combustion conventionnels et afin
d’améliorer l'autonomie des véhicules électriques. Cependant, malgré les
progrès significatifs accomplis, l'industrie est toujours à la recherche de
solutions moins coûteuses pour la production en grandes séries de
composants légers.
L'une des alternatives les plus prometteuses pour la fabrication de
composants légers et économiques est l’utilisation d’hybrides métal?composite thermoplastique. Les pièces hybrides fabriquées à partir d’acier
et de composites thermoplastiques avancés, par exemple, combinent en
effet performances mécaniques élevées et faible poids. Cependant, il est
nécessaire de développer des solutions permettant de recycler ces
composants après leur vie utile. Ce Projet porte donc sur le développement
de procédés permettant de séparer et de valoriser les matériaux utilisés
dans la fabrication de composants hybrides ayant atteint leur fin de vie.

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.
