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.

Harnessing pea-microbiome interactions for control of root-rot pathogens
984644
The plant root microbiome includes microbes that can kill fungal and oomycete pathogens, including those present in the pea root rot complex. In this project, the aim is to identify the host and microbial genetic factors that recruit beneficial microbes to promote resistance of pea to root rot diseases. The Haney Lab at UBC studies genetics and genomics of beneficial Pseudomonas fluorescens interactions with plants; these bacteria will be used as an example of beneficial rhizosphere microbes in this project. The Haney lab also has a collection of hundreds of genome-sequenced P. fluorescens isolates including many with characterized antifungal activity.

Sherloq - unlocking diamond-based magnetic intelligence
988535
SBQuantum (SBQ) is introducing ‘Magnetic Intelligence’ (MI), combining multiple innovations in magnetometry to enhance operational teams’ ability to ‘see’ underground, underwater or in other obscured environments. The Project will involve collaboration between SBQuantum, McGill University, Institut Quantique at Université de Sherbrooke and the National Research Council to explore the use of a novel quantum sensor, a magnetometer based on quantum impurities in diamonds, to enhance the understanding of the magnetic environment compared to conventional magnetometers.

ARP - Rental Resume
987361
Rent Panda is embarking on the development of an MVP which will change the way that landlords screen tenants prior to renting to them and the way that tenants apply to rental homes. The Rent Panda Rental Resume will be a tool that will allow tenants to create a robust and well rounded portfolio (or resume) of themselves as renters, with all the quantitative and qualitative information that a landlord would need in order to make a decision in choosing a tenant for their investment property. Similar to a dating profile, airbnb profile, or linkedin resume, this tool is meant to replace the old school, paper based or single measure focused applications systems used by the large majority of landlords and property managers.
