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.

High Throughput Experimentation for Energy Storage Cathode Development – Advanced Methods and Integration
1021543
The Project’s objective is to establish and refine advanced Li-ion methodologies that are amenable to high-throughput experimentation (HTE), along with enhancing capabilities, with the explicit goal of accelerating the experimentation process in the realms of lithium-ion cathode synthesis, electrode fabrication, and electrochemical evaluation. The focus is on advancing the efficiency and speed of these crucial stages in the development and assessment of battery components. The Project team will develop for HTE and where applicable automated, material synthesis, electrode preparation, and electrochemical testing. The new electrochemical methods that will be developed in high-throughput include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiostatic intermittent titration technique, to more fully understand changes taking place in the cells during battery operation. The Project also aims to study disordered rocksalt materials in high-throughput and develop new compositions that overcome current limitations that are preventing these materials from being commercialized.
