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.

Cooperative Network of Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles Protection, Trustworthiness, and Resilient Recovery Subject to Faults and Cyber Attacks
CFPMN2-030
The project aims to develop new scientific foundations to overcome technological and human-machine interaction barriers for secure, trustworthy, reliable and assured Cooperative Autonomous Networked Unmanned Vehicle (CANUMV) assets. This Project will identify critical elements for establishing trust, airworthiness, confidence, and cyber-security assurance between CANUMV assets and humans.

HDS Leak Detection 2.0
1029518
The system, which can monitor very long distances, has been successfully used for leak detection in land and offshore pipelines in Canada and the United States, as well as in other international regions such as South America and Europe.
A variety of artificial intelligence / machine learning based software methods such as leak signature classification, flow anomaly localization, and observing major changes in the pipeline acoustic propagation model, are being developed for leak detection.

Institutional Support to the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS)
7421947 P009631001
This funding will provide the needed stability for AIMS to consolidate its operations and renew its policy coverage in the face of rapid growth in program areas such as climate change, industry linkages and artificial intelligence. African-led and based, endorsed by the African Union, with over 15 partnerships with African universities and a strong long-standing Canadian connection, AIMS will be able to more economically and efficiently deliver educational opportunities throughout its network, which enables Africa’s brightest students to become creative thinkers, solution creators and innovators that propel scientific, educational and economic self-sufficiency on the continent.
