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.

JESD204B Software Defined Radio for Low Earth Orbit
25STDPZ02
Apsis Science and Technology Inc. proposes to develop a novel Software Defined Radio, utilizing the JESD 204b digital interface standard, to adopt cutting edge radio transceiver chipsets from Analog Devices, Inc. This standard enables modular, plug-and-play selection for high speed (>1 GSPS) ADCs, DACs, Mixed Signal transceivers, and Direct Conversion receivers operating up to V-band. The company will support a wide catalog of these chipsets with radiation testing heritage and built-in driver support. For this project, the company will develop a prototype and provide engineering models to select customers. Several prominent Canadian space companies have indicated a clear interest in this product. By virtue of its software defined design, it can be used as a general-purpose radio transmitter/receiver, or as the foundation of a radio communication system. Apsis Tech will offer this product domestically and internationally, creating solid Canadian jobs while serving the Canadian and international space industries.

Development of a Miniaturized Ion Source for Space Exploration
25STDPZ03
Active interrogation techniques using neutron beams are typically used for material identification and elemental analysis over a broad spectrum of space and terrestrial applications. Space applications include searching for volatiles, geological characterization, and (eventually) prospecting to enable mining and in-situ resource utilization; applications on Earth include explosives and narcotics detection in security arenas. BTI is proposing to develop a simple, miniature, ruggedized ion source as a component of future neutron generators and ion-beam probes. The miniaturized device will help accommodate payload mass and volume constraints, while the low complexity will reduce fabrication costs and improve reliability. In many surveying applications, there is a desire to use a broadly dispersed beam rather than one intense point source. An affordable, miniature ion source could be used to populate an interrogation zone with an array of many small generators, thereby offering a unique capability relative to the current state-of-the-art.
