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.

Proposed Economic and Environmental Impact of Sustainable Bait Designs for Use in Canada’s Atlantic Fisheries

Agreement Number:

1032238

Duration: from Jun 30, 2025 to Feb 6, 2026
Description:

Oberland's black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) bait has the potential to be a sustainable, supply chain resilient, cost-competitive bait produced in Nova Scotia, for use by Atlantic Canada's lobster and crab harvesters. Following laboratory experiments with Homarus Labs in early 2025, Oberland Agriscience Inc. and Homarus seek to understand the in-ocean effects of and on our bait formulations. The proposed experiment objectives are (1) to determine the residence time of BSFL bait in real world applications; (2) to observe how lobster responds when presented with BSFL bait; (3) to observe the response to our bait by sea lice. Early reports from harvesters have suggested that our bait does not attract this nuisance species.

Expansion of Clinical Trial (CT) Services to Include Consumer Product and Cosmetic Efficacy Testing

Agreement Number:

1032288

Duration: from Jun 30, 2025 to May 31, 2026
Description:

The project aims to expand existing research capabilities to include additional cosmetic efficacy testing services and associated supporting quality assurance processes. Associated internal research and development processes will be undertaken to generate the knowledge necessary to support these additional operational needs while meeting international research standards. This infrastructure development positions the organization to market additional clinical trial services, hire additional personnel, provide additional cosmetic research opportunities to the citizens of Winnipeg, and complete planning expansions to integrate new service offerings into business development portfolios.

ML Researcher

Agreement Number:

1032366

Duration: from Jun 30, 2025 to Jan 31, 2026
Description:

The project aims to develop an automated machine learning (AutoML) pipeline to accelerate the development of surrogate models for predicting materials properties. Working with tabular data linking composition of an alloy to material properties, the intern will design tools for data curation, composition-based featurization, feature space reduction, and output transformation. A core outcome will be a modular library of ML models and an AutoML system that selects optimal pipelines based on data characteristics. A final pipeline will include the implementation of the AutoML workflows in a probabilistic framework suitable for integration with a Bayesian optimization engine, supporting faster and more accurate materials design.
