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.

Proteomics and structure-function relationships of pea proteins to understand the fate of proteins and impacts on their functionality during protein ingredient production
988608
Pea proteins are now a major ingredient used in plant-based foods, with Canada being recognized as a major producer and exporter of dry peas. Pea protein concentrates and isolates are a complex mixture of proteins, the structure and composition of which directly impacts the functionality of pea protein ingredients, such as their ability to remain soluble, bind water, and form and stabilize emulsions and foams. Protein functionality thus affects the overall food quality. Pea protein structure and composition is affected by the use of different isolation methods (e.g., dry- and wet?fractionation), processing conditions, and different pea varieties, which in turn determines the functionality of these as ingredients in food. A clear understanding of how these different factors are interrelated is currently lacking, particularly for commercially-prepared samples. This project will combine analyses of protein composition, structure and functionality focused on commercially-relevant pea protein concentrates and isolates. This project will help reveal how different processing conditions affect pea protein structure and composition and, in-turn, functionality. This knowledge could be used by industry to optimize the manufacture of pea protein ingredients with improved function, sensory and nutritive properties.

Towards river ice jam release flood modelling in TELEMAC: Testing of KHIONE and further module development
984646
The objectives of this project are to test and further advance river ice modelling capabilities in the open-source hydrodynamic modelling package TELEMAC. This will be achieved by testing the capabilities of the existing KHIONE module for simulating frazil ice generation, and through development and implementation of dynamic ice cover routines within TELEMAC. The long-term objective is to develop capabilities to model river ice break-up processes. These new routines will be tested with available data on river ice cover dynamics.
