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.

Advanced multifunctional materials for space applications (shielding and containment)
22STDPQ08
Protection of crew and equipment from space radiation (i.e., galactic cosmic radiation (GCR), solar particle events (SPEs), and neutrons generated from the interactions of the GCR and SPEs with the intervening materials) is key to successful space missions. Exposure protection and management in space is more complicated than terrestrial applications such as nuclear reactors. This is due to difficulties in defining and controlling distances from the source, the larger and higher energy radiation, variation of space radiation with time, and secondary radiation. A further unique challenge for space shielding is the limit on the overall mass load of the spacecraft (e.g., difficulty of propulsion and overall cost).
This project proposes to develop and test multifunctional nanomaterials that are lightweight, resistant against very high temperatures and can withstand mechanical loading and determine their properties under various radiation conditions. Such shielding materials can also benefit nuclear energy and nuclear medicine applications.

Fission Surface Power
22STDPQ09
This is especially meaningful in Canada’s Arctic, where diesel generators are accelerating ice melt to disastrous and irreversible effects on the world’s climate. SMR requirements sit at the nexus of timing, technology gaps, and iconic Canadian strengths, and represent a generational opportunity for Canada to lead on the world stage. CSMC has reviewed Canada's rich heritage in nuclear reactors and has determined that by revitalizing a proven and iconic Canadian technology, Canada can propel itself to the forefront of delivering clean, reliable and safe nuclear power, both terrestrial and lunar fission power, years ahead of competing efforts.

Satellite edge analytic platform for scalable AI
22STDPR06
The proliferation of small satellites in the New Space Era has spurred the development of computational systems deployed on agile CubeSats for onboard detection of cloud and floods. There is a need for scalable space IoT frameworks for satellite edge computing (SEC): In addition to growing real-time data requirements for earth observation applications, capability to perform or offload compute on devices is critical for 1) remote areas, mountains, and sea, where ground resource and connectivity is limited 2) Delay-sensitive applications with multi-domain data for situation awareness. CSI proposes to develop an edge-AI software framework for SEC. It will increase capability of AI deployed on satellites as edge nodes while adapting to new tasks. The framework will assess models and performance to minimize bandwidth. The proposed work is demonstrated on use case in satellite processing, updating models for new scenarios onboard, and has potential for multiple satellites.
