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.

LSBC Investor Readiness Program for SMEs 2021-2025
975726
The LifeSciences BC Investor Readiness Program for SMEs 2021-2023 is a continuation of this program that was initially launched in 2020. This program brings together annual cohorts of at least 10 early-stage BC SMEs in the life sciences sector with an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR). EIRs are carefully selected and matched to each SME based on specific experience and knowledge relevant to that particular SME. The program supports the participating SMEs to become “investor ready” by providing them with new skills to successfully attract investment funds. Each cohort-year of the program will culminate in an investor pitch session where the participants will use their new skills to present to a group of pre-qualified investors.

AI-enabled navigation of unmanned aircraft systems in remote northern areas
975734
This Project considers the intricate challenges that are associated with transportation and logistics support to remote and northern areas of Canada. The objective of the Project is to design and develop autonomous capabilities for the navigation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) range where operator intervention may not be feasible. The Project will consist of the development of AI-based algorithms for autonomous BVLOS flight routes, algorithm development for simultaneous localization and mapping, the design of vision-based control methods for landings, intelligent aerial manipulation control techniques for package delivery and pickups; collecting drone flight and delivery-pickup data from northern Manitoba communities and verifying the AI-based methods through simulations and experiments.
