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.

EUREKA PENTA 20016 pAvis: Development of NeuroCatch™ Platform 3.0
980526
Eureka’s PENTA cluster – 20016 pAvis consortium project led by Philips Medical Systems (Netherlands) to develop intelligent sensor systems for professional healthcare applications.
The pAvIs consortium will develop intelligent sensor systems for professional healthcare applications. With the aid of embedded artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms and innovative electronics, pAvIs will realize a paradigm shift from “one size fits all” to real-time adaptability such that diagnosis and treatment are optimized for each individual patient towards best achievable performance.
In this project, the firm will develop NeuroCatch™ Platform 3.0 with AI algorithms to distinguish between neurological conditions and monitor changes over time.

Bulk food dispensing system for refugee camps
980789
The project is to build an “end platform” including the hardware mechanisms and software solution.
The solution will be designed to handle different food products including rice, sorghum, beans and
oil. Signifi will be bring a new integrated technology-based solution to the market using an intelligent
and innovative approach that can handle all the challenges with good distribution.
Refugee camps are temporary settlements developed to house displaced people. Most inhabitants
of refugee camps are displaced because of conflict and war, but others are displaced because of
environmental disasters. Although many refugees fled their native countries, some camps house
internally displaced persons.

Happy Fish
980914
This project is designed to understand the feasibility and scope of what is needed to develop and then bring to market a product that can provide land-based farms with an easy-to-use and understandable metric that can provide a real-time comprehension of how healthy their fish are. Furthermore, farms will also be able to use this metric in a time series to pinpoint when exactly health issues started to change, so they can then learn and apply mitigation factors in future incidents.

Digital ID distribution system and wallet
980937
Right now Vaultie is the issuer of any credential issued through its system. However, the building of a distribution system that would allow for independent organizations to issue and revoke credentials to its users would enable businesses, self-regulatory organizations, companies, or even universities to issue credentials to their customers/employees or members (“customers” or “users”). Customers would be able to carry these credentials in their digital wallet and prove, via blockchain, their affiliation to the issuer through the use of the credential. A digital credential would reduce barriers to access to gated services and create frameworks by which we could trust remote customers.
