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 Advanced Winch Model in TDT-Sim
991412
The Firm has previously designed a tool called Tug Dynamic Towing Simulation (TDT-Sim) to analyze towing related dynamics of escort tugs operating in waves. Under this project, a more advanced generalized winch model will be developed to cater to demands by previous clients and will improve the accuracy and marketability of future TDT-Sim analyses and support the sale of new tug designs.

Youth-Electric Vehicle Conversion Project
991438
This project will allow Fundamental Inc to develop a detailed design and workplan to convert a classic car (previously fossil fuel based) to electric power. This is a niche market called ‘resto-mods’ that has seen significant success in places like California and the UK. The groundwork for the conversion of a classic car can also be leveraged into conversions and extension-of-life of other vehicles where the vehicles chassis and body are in good shape but the power train is at end of life.

Youth - Functional and structural characterization of deuterated mRNA
991507
To address the challenges of SARS2 COVID-19 pandemic, messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines were developed. While mRNA vaccines and other RNA therapeutics are powerful tools in combatting diseases, their shelf-life is dependent on the integrity of cold chain logistics - the necessity of always storing the vaccine between 4?C and 8?C or at -80?C. This project investigates the potential of protecting mRNA vaccines from degradation by utilizing D2O in multiple ways.
