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.

Optimization of fermentation process to economize scale-up productions of leaf aldehyde
981461
Through a series of bench-scale fermenter experiments with a new designer strain, the proposed fermentation optimization for leaf-aldehyde production based on our validated process will focus on reducing production cost. The support from NRC-IRAP for this project will help us lower the technical risk for large-scale (1,000 - 10,000L) process, unlock next milestone payment from a strategic investment from an industry partner, establish clear pathway to product commercialization, and boost Canadian bio-economy by developing HQPs and research partnership within Ardra and Verschuren Centre in Nova Scotia.

Assessing the effects of extreme temperature events on the phytoplankton communities of the North West Atlantic
981476
This project focuses on the impact of temperature increase on the marine phytoplankton and their associated communities. The effects of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) increase and Marine Heat Wave (MHW) events on the plankton communities will be experimentally studied and compared to a detailed time-series of phytoplankton and microbial community composition acquired from environmental DNA (eDNA) since 2014. A novel focus to time-series observations will provide detailed
knowledge of the key species (ranging from microbe to metazoans) associated with dominant phytoplankton species within the NWA ecosystem. The potential effect of MHW on the natural communities of phytoplankton of a coastal ecosystem in manipulative incubations of water samples at ambient and elevated temperatures. Novel phytoplankton species will be isolated and cultivated in the laboratory and used for manipulative temperature shift experiments.

Wireless Power Technology: Technology Improvements and Product Quality Assurance System to Enable Robust Operation and Volume Production
981509
Harnessing the power of electric fields in an approach called Resonant Capacitive Coupling, Solace Power released its first product based on this technology in 2018. The firm has since invested in strengthening the platform to make it suitable for magnetic and electric field power transfer and developed a capability called High-Frequency Induction, which broadens market applicability. The project's intent is to improve on aspects of the technology to address market demands and develop and implement quality and test systems and to produce a next-generation prototype that can be released for manufacturing. This third generation modular platform will serve to address requirements for several product-market combinations, primarily in the auto and telecom markets.
