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.

Enhancing Food Safety and Quality: Implementing Advanced MAchine Learning and Data Analytics to Develop Predictive Models for Best-Before Dates
1034040
This applied research initiative will deliver a production-ready AI platform that simultaneously predicts shelf-life and key sensory attributes—such as colour stability, texture retention, and flavor degradation—of food products, using detailed formulation, processing, and packaging data. The project builds directly on an earlier collaboration between Griffith and WIMTACH (Technology Access Centre at Centennial College), where two separate models were successfully developed as proof-of-concept prototypes. This next phase transforms those early research outputs into a fully deployable solution, capable of delivering actionable insights across Griffith’s research and development workflows.
