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.

Predictive Models for Exploration Drilling in Mining
980301
Krux MWD will be a drill and instrumentation agnostic data logging system that can be added to virtually any new or existing diamond coring, reverse circulation, sonic or underground drilling rig technology. The system will collect, store, aggregate and normalize certain drilling rig operational data to be loaded in real-time to the KruxLog data collection App. The data can be used for; 1) the auto-generation of Daily Shift Reports reducing human interaction and data entry 2) Drilling Operational trend monitoring to identify potential areas for operational efficiencies 3) Data Models that can be used for Machine Learning, Automation and Analytics.

Next-Generation LEV Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) Platform
980404
To design and develop a next generation LEV wireless power transfer platform that supports various LEV types present in the market or soon to be developed in the future. Said LEV WPT platform will support various voltage and wattage configurations, with the added capability of inductive wireless charging either at 600W, 2kW and 11kW outputs, each with an appropriate input voltage range of 36V up to 300V to accommodate for most LEVs present in the in the market. The LEV WPT platform will feature a high misalignment tolerance, less fabrication materials, and a new single-stage power converter in the ground assembly.

Coastal wave and storm-surge modelling to assess vulnerability of communities to climate change impacts with applications to nature-based solutions for adaptation of coastal infrastructure
980421
Nature-based coastal and riverine infrastructure options have become increasingly common elements of climate adaptation plans. The long-term success of these solutions depends equally on the capacity for a particular solution to achieve desired outcomes, and the ability of this infrastructure to withstand both current and future environments. Coastal hydrodynamics models for waves, SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) model, and storm surge, Delft 3D, will be used to assess potential storm surge levels and wave action along parts of coastal Newfoundland and Labrador. Results will be used to identify study sites that are vulnerable to such events at present, or in the future, where nature-based infrastructure solutions can be used as part of climate change adaptation measures. Climate change adaptation strategies using nature-based solutions to coastal protection infrastructure will be explored at the identified study site(s).
