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.

ARP – Solution for managing and monitoring the performance of machine learning models (MPM) – Indexing and intelligent collection tool.
988832
The purpose of the product is to collect the predictions made by the machine learning models, and then to collect the ground truth. This will allow to evaluate the performance of the models by doing a temporal follow-up and thus detect any possible drift.

Manufacturing of biocarbon briquettes for the production of ferroalloys.
988883
The production of ferroalloy requires the addition of reducing coal, a product obtained from fossil resources. The company, as an eco-responsible company, has decided to minimize its carbon footprint by replacing fossil coal with biocarbon produced from wood residues. The company aims to produce different ranges of biocarbon to meet the needs in its ferrosilicon production facilities.

AI based super-resolution image enhancement
988896
Super resolution involves synthetically increasing the resolution of gridded data beyond their native resolution. Typically, this is done using interpolation schemes (linear, non-linear), which estimate sub-grid-scale values from neighbouring data, and perform the same operation everywhere regardless of the large-scale context, or by requiring a network of radars with overlapping fields of view. Conceptually, a neural network may be able to learn relations between large-scale reflectance features and the associated sub-pixel-scale variability and outperform interpolation schemes. The project aims to use data fusion (various sources) to provide for super resolution of RADAR and multi-spectral data.

Ocean Planner AUV Simulator System (OPASS): An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Glider Path Simulator
989052
OPASS software suite will facilitate pilot-friendly Autonomous Underwater Vehicle guidance/navigation simulator useful for pilot training, mission planning and mission completion. This simulator will be a significant step forward in terms of providing mission specialists with the capacity to deploy their AUVs with a much greater degree of
confidence and cost efficiency in achieving ocean research mission objectives. Featuring rich environmental data displays, it will accurately simulate at-sea conditions without vehicle risk.
The research and development work considered within this project is still directly related to early stage R&D feasibility to determine if real time environmental data can be synthesized into finite blocks of software code and then combined with instructional navigation coding in a manner that facilities an accurate simulation tool.
