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.

Extending the frontier of PhiDrillSim through Diagnostic Analysis of Mojek Horizontal well 102/03-18-082-05W3 in Fairview Alberta
992271
This project comprises the use of the PhiDrillSim app and accessories to review a shut-in well in Grand Prairie, Alberta. The following steps will be taken:
1. Digitize all data from the drilling process and visit the site to capture more data
2. Simulate the drilling process from pre-drilling planning to installation of the final BHA run
3. Identify what went wrong in the drilling process based on safety and speed benchmarks
4. Review available solutions to predicting and preventing the events that led to stalling the drilling process
5. Implement the accepted solutions on PhiDrillSim and simulate the drilling operations to avoid the identified problems
6. Record success rate stats
7. Develop a final report of recommendations

Pathways to zero-impact shipping
988618
The Project will undertake research to assess the potential contribution of different technology solutions to reducing the full environmental impacts of marine shipping. One objective of this work is to produce a report on the current state of technologies supporting environmental impact reduction of shipping. A second objective is to develop an assessment framework tool to evaluate and prioritize technology development efforts that will minimize the total environmental impact of marine shipping, and thereby accelerate efforts in achieving the ultimate goal of ‘zero-impact shipping’. The definition of environmental impact in the Project not only includes the 2050 net-zero GHG emissions target but also includes additional environmental impacts like air, water pollution and impact on ocean life.

Ahiflower Press Cake and Micronized Seed By-Products As Alternative Calcium, Energy, and Protein Sources for Laying Hens
991725
The proposed project will determine suitability of by-product Ahiflower press cake and/or micronized seed as a beneficial feed amendment for egg layer hens, examining eggshell strength, egg yolk composition, and culinary egg parameters. The project will also introduce this novel feedstock material to CFIA as a research material for possible future novel feed materials approval. This upcycled material has exceptionally high calcium and silica content and an excellent overall balance of omega-3-6-9 fatty acids. Project success could improve sustainability, resilience, and competitiveness for Canadian poultry egg producers while increasing overall margins, productivity, and competitiveness for Natures Crops International.
