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.

Intelligent Design through Graph Generation with Deep Generative Models and Reinforcement Learning
947409
The objective of this project is to develop general machine learning techniques for graph generation, with the end application of smart design including new material discovery, advanced circuit design, and novel drug invention, amongst many others. Research will focus on deep generative models and reinforcement learning for the generation of graphs with optimized properties. The representation power of graph will be leveraged to sufficiently encode the key compositional behaviours and their interplays of the target domain, and treat developing a novel design as a new graph structure generation process with various composition constraints. The decomposition in the former can be attained through deep generative models with disentangled latent variables, and the composition search space in the latter can be effectively explored by deep enforcement learning.

Conditional High Utility Pattern Mining for Cyber Attack Detection
945265
As a result, many studies validate proposed methods on real operational data that has been injected with artificial attack traces. The difficulty is that these artificial infiltrations tend to be unrealistic, and as a result are easily recognizable amongst the true operational data.

Optically gated artificial synapses for printable electronics
945642
To emulate neural networks, it is essential to reproduce the functions of biological synapses in physical devices that could be fabricated on a larger scale. artificial synapses will be developed using printable materials made of carbon nanotubes and photoactive dyes.

EFFECT OF INDIVIDUALIZED ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY TRAINING ON CARDIOVASCULAR AND CEREBRAL RESPONSES IN MALES AND FEMALES DURING SUPINE TO STAND TESTS

EFFECT OF INDIVIDUALIZED ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY TRAINING ON CARDIOVASCULAR AND CEREBRAL RESPONSES IN MALES AND FEMALES DURING SUPINE TO STAND TESTS
Wobbly legs, dizzy spells and even fainting experienced by astronauts on return to Earth are serious health and safety concerns. One solution may be to provide artificial gravity from a centrifuge in space. Our group has shown that artificial gravity training on Earth increases standing tolerance, but the reasons behind this increase are not well understood, particularly for women who have not been included as often in previous studies. We will look the posture, cardiovascular and brain blood flow responses to an individualized artificial gravity program in men and women to better understand and use this technique to protect astronauts.
