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.

Development of low power microLED displays for smartwatch applications.

Agreement Number:

1001546

Duration: from Dec 1, 2022 to Nov 30, 2023
Description:

VueReal has developed key technology for microprinting of microLEDs and microSensors into substrates for creating different applications such as microLED displays. Due to unique features of microLED it can enable high reliability, high brightness and high resolution displays. The project involves researching and developing a backplane, driving scheme, and customized microLEDs for smartwatch and other wearable products. Specifically, this IRAP funded project will focus on overcoming the remaining technical issues related to developing small microLED, backplane and driving schemes for smartwatch displays.

Feasibility Project for extending FibrePlate into Nanofiltration

Agreement Number:

1001677

Duration: from Dec 1, 2022 to Mar 31, 2024
Description:

This IRAP project would consist of developing the concept and demonstrating the feasibility of using the FibrePlate sheets to make low pressure nanofiltration immersed membranes.

Since 2015, Fibracast’s ultrafiltration sheet has been successfully used for ultrafiltration (UF) in membrane bioreactor applications (MBRs). Its small footprint and capability to handle solids is appreciated by our Municipal and Industrial clients.

We believe that the same base polyester sheets could also be used to support a low pressure nanofiltration membrane (NF). And if the concept is applicable, we would be able to enter the nanofiltration market with a new paradigm shift concept consisting of an outside-in hybrid membrane instead of the conventional

Development of additional features for mineral identification AI

Agreement Number:

1001742

Duration: from Dec 1, 2022 to Nov 30, 2023
Description:

Further develop a scalable industry-leading AI accelerated core logging system to improve the pace and consistency of core drill core logging, which represents one of the largest bottlenecks in the mining life cycle with no signs of improving. This project will address major challenges in the industry by improving productivity and consistency of core logging through Machine Learning (ML), a subdomain of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

IRAP funding will allow KORE to accelerate development and ultimately commercialize new products faster. The proposed solution(s) are a direct result of market research and voice of customer studies and are specifically designed to solve customer identified needs and challenges.

Eternity early prototype development

Agreement Number:

1001876

Duration: from Dec 1, 2022 to Mar 31, 2023
Description:

The Eternity Platform is a hybrid web2/web3 architecture running on the Internet Computer Blockchain and on the cloud (in this case AWS) used to establish a digital economy on the IC, which has the advantages of both web2 and web3 such as high availability & low latency of centralized databases and persistence & ownership of blockchain. This architecture provides as much configurability as possible, with applications built on top of it being able to implement arbitrary business logic specific to their digital economy.

The project aim is to create a prototype of Eternity which connects Cloud to Blockchain functionalities, proves the concept of bidirectional communication between the two and allows some basic operations on in-game items.
