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.

1038299

Duration: from Jan 1, 2026 to Apr 30, 2027
Description:

Rural Agriculture Input Entrepreneurs face an “Agronomic Knowledge Gap” lacking easy access to technical product data compared to their counterparts at established retailers. This project builds “Ag Assistant” and AI system that ingests regulatory and scientific information and places it into a structured knowledge base. This knowledge base powers the MVP version of our AI Agent that uses research tools and instantly compares products for agronomic fit and approved, on-label uses. This will help to validate our Agentic tool-using agent infrastructure on a tangible, constrained use-case before expanding data access and other actions in the future.
