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 polymer electrolytes for printed wearable sweat wristband for healthcare
990730
This project is part of the development of printed wearable sweat wristband sensing system for health monitoring and early-stage disease diagnosis. The sweat wristbands will need low power consumption components to ensure truly wearable and portable, which is critical to such applications. The current driving and sensing components require high operating voltage making it impossible to run with current available batteries. One of the solutions to reduce the operation voltage of the sensing and circuit components is to leverage the electrolyte-gated organic field-effect transistors (EGFETs) which may operate at

Artificial intelligence enabled navigation of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones beyond visual line of sight
984562
Current drone delivery systems exclusively rely on GPS waypoint navigation autonomy functions to support BVLOS operation with remote pilot supervision, but mainstream operational adaptation of these systems requires additional safety critical measures to guarantee navigational accuracy regulatory requirements, protection measures against injury to persons caused by system failures and warning and alerts to enhance the risk awareness of the system.
To this end, this project will develop Al-based multi-sensor navigation technology that adapts to the changes in sensor information, facilitates autonomous real-time trajectory planning, and provides pilot assistance for vehicles engaged in BVLOS operations in remote Canadian environments.

Eco-Seis - Phase2: Optimizing Seismic Acquisition for Reduced Environmental Footprint
987962
The Eco-Seis approach to seismic acquisition combines alternative geometries with a unique distribution of sources and is not limited to a single source type or a single model. Rather, this method combines new minimal impact seismic sources with a sparse distribution of conventional sources, then applies these sources in a unique geometry focused on maintaining sensitive habitat and minimizing surface disturbances while also providing high quality seismic data and safe access for field personnel. This method will work with geometry variations and multiple source types, increasing the ability to minimize surface disturbance and making it possible to apply the method in many different types of terrains both within Canada and internationally.
