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.

Academia
Using AI to design multi-element non-stoichiometric perovskite oxides as semiconductors and catalysts.
994523
Perovskite oxides (e.g. CaTiO3) find applications in next-generation energy storage and conversion technologies. Ca, Ti, and O sites can be replaced by many elements to improve performance. The resultant compositions and structures can reach astronomical numbers, precluding the evaluation of all the compositions experimentally. Artificial Intelligence is rising to the task to design new materials in practical times. Ba2Ca0.66Nb1.34-xFexO6-δ is one member of this family with an astoundingly large parameter space. A purely empirical approach is futile. Computational techniques such as density functional theory accelerated by machine learning are essential. The Project will augment available experimental and computational data to design new non-stoichiometric perovskite oxides with a primary objective focused on water-splitting to generate hydrogen using heat, light, electrical bias, or combinations thereof. Success will see new catalytic materials of unprecedented performance with great potential benefits to science and engineering, the environment, and the Canadian economy.
