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.

Risk and cost mitigation through determination of tidal turbine loading under real turbulent tidal flow conditions
983134
The objective of this project is to model and test hydrokinetic turbines to determine local and time-variant turbine blade loads. This model will be applied to determine blade loading and turbine interaction to real-life cases, proving its usefulness as an engineering design tool. Ultimately, this validated numerical method will be used to study the load behaviour on turbine blades as a function of various parameters (type of tidal flow, turbine design, turbine arrangement in an array, etc.) to extract a body of knowledge useful for engineers. The knowledge of spatio-temporal load variations is the starting point of material fatigue studies which will narrow down the estimated lifetime of turbine blades while in operation. Such
knowledge will have a great impact on risk assessment and overall system operation cost.

Valorization of seafood marine waste streams to high-value biomaterials
985980
Chitosan nanocrystals, a new family of biomaterials sourced from seafood shell waste, have outstanding properties that favor their use in the fabrication of tissue adhesive for the biomedical industry. The project aims to achieve the two goals of creating a scalable, sustainable process for the production of ChsNC from seafood waste, and consolidating research on these highly functional biomaterials for consumer applications in the biomedical sector. This project has the potential to unlock key barriers in the valorisation of an under-utilized biowaste produced in large scale in Quebec and Canada towards high value added products improving the health of
Canadians.

Optimal quantum control of solid-state quantum emitters in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides
986056
Solid-state quantum emitters (QEs), which have potential applications in quantum cryptography and distributed quantum networks, have very recently been discovered in direct band gap semiconductors formed from excitons in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) localized by strain. This project brings together world-renowned experts from NRC in the fabrication of site-selected solid-state QEs and the Dalhousie Ultrafast Quantum Control Group who has developed internationally-unique optimal quantum control strategies for such emitters with the goal to advance the promising new system of TMD QEs for applications in quantum technology.

A Security Analytics Framework for Attack Detection and Prevention in Smart Aging Care Systems
983649
Smart home-based aging care systems are reshaping the health services by introducing proactive monitoring, improving quality of life, and facilitating efficient management of health resources. However, these advances inevitably emphasize growing threats to the security and privacy of sensitive personal and health information. This project will develop a comprehensive security analytics framework entailing multi-level countermeasures (i.e., software systems) for attack detection and prevention in smart aging care systems. The framework will include advanced vulnerability assessment, machine learning, and monitoring techniques that will consider the behavior of not only connected electronic devices and applications but also user activities and usage patterns to detect and prevent common and unknown threats. The developed cutting-edge and comprehensive solutions will improve the security and privacy of smart home-based aging care systems.

TAGDit the Living Library
984018
Development of TAGDit Data-as-a-Service Cloud software product designed for the coming age of user-owned data. The software enables users to aggregate data in their own secure private living data library located in virtual spaces called “data rooms” on the TAGDit webpage, market it and sell it in their own data storefront. It comes with advanced search features to search the data, which could be text,audio, video, multimedia, IoT data or executable files. A custom web search tool that is weighted with your own saved search history return more contextually meaningful results. Other types of search filters are also possible such as text, image, and other filters.
