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.

Software Development for High Frequency Modems

Agreement Number:

1036798

Duration: from Nov 3, 2025 to Mar 9, 2026
Description:

In this project, we will work on the development of software to use the dual frequency modems with an emphasis on versatile transmission capability. Specifically, the software will be capable of switching the transmissions between the Left-Channel or Right-Channels based on the desired transmission frequency without any work on the hardware. We will account for a wide range of frequencies between 19 KHz to 60 KHz. This will enable us to build on the versatile, broad frequency modem hardware that we have researched and developed and bring us closer to transmitting visuals under the water in near real time.
