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.

Development of a mass-rearing system for morphologically distinct "Jumbo” Aphidius ervi
932336
Crop Defenders created this project with the goal of developing a rearing system to consistently produce A. ervi adults of larger size than is typical for the species, a product given the name “Jumbo Ervi”.Phase 1 of this project focuses on the small scale successful production of "Jumbo Ervi" which will work 80% better in controlling cannabis aphids than the conventional A. ervi.

Development of soluble cannabinoids for nutraceutical and medicinal use.
1008129
London Research and Pharmaceuticals Corporation (LRPC) developed a strategy to optimize the physicochemical and pharmacological properties of cannabinoids via providing new methods to convert cannabinoids (CBD) into fully soluble and stable products (Patent # US62/970,764) that are deliberately designed to impart specific properties that will be readily translated into nutraceuticals + pharmaceuticals and strengthen the health + wellness cannabis market where no fully soluble cannabinoids are known.

Development of a cost-effective emulsification technology suitable for infusion of cannabis phytocannabinoids into aqueous solutions to attain rapid onset of action and greater bio-availability
921463
The project involves investigation of physical and chemical properties of phytocannabinoid analogues (i.e. physio-chemically similar fatty acids and fatty alcohols) to identify most suitable test compound. The test compound will then be used to develop methods for emulsification and other delivery systems (e.g. microemulsions and nanoemulsions) that provide a uniform distribution of a substance in a water-based matrix as a representative model to be applied to infuse phytocannabinoids into aqueous beverage products.

Commercial Level Validation (Per Health Canada’s Requirements) of a Set of Analytical Methods for Measuring the Quantity of multiple Active ingredients (Cannabinoids) in Selected Cannabis Derived Product Matrices Designed for Therapeutic Use
977217
This project will result in the validation, to a degree acceptable for commercialization as an analytical service, of a set of analytical methods for measuring the quality of selected cannabinoid containing edibles and topicals designed for therapeutic use. Quality in this context refers to the cannabinoid content of the products, as the acknowledged active ingredient(s).
