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.

Formal verification and optimization of adaptive training systems for marine simulators
979737
This Project aims to develop computer simulations to explore and determine optimized tutoring strategies to foster improved learning of ice management operations. The main objective is to develop a set of tools to verify and optimize the design of adaptive instructional systems (AIS). These AIS play the role of an expert instructor, but are automated so that trainees are guided by the simulator through optimal and bespoke learning pathways.
The anticipated benefits of the Project are: 1) an increase in knowledge of the cognitive demands and skill acquisition related to ice management in the context of freight transportation; 2) a cost reduction of training scenario development by testing alternative learning scenarios and instructional designs prior to empirical validation with human participants; 3) an increase in training efficiency using optimized scenarios and adaptive instructions.

R&D and Engineering Support for a first-of-a-kind Carbon Nanotubes Commercial Plant
977940
Announced in December 2019, Capital Power is progressing its plans to construct a carbon capture and conversion facility known as the Genesee Carbon Conversion Centre (GC3) (the Project). GC3 will use innovative technology developed by Carbon Corp to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from the flue gas at Genesee Unit 3 and through an electrolysis process, create high-quality carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This project requires to undertake an extensive FEED study which is Carbon Corps team's central task.
