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.

MEMS Design for Lower Drift Quartz Pressure Sensors
1033726
This project will enable Phase Sensors to reduce drift in its pressure sensors. Drift is a critical specification for precision pressure sensors as it directly impacts the accuracy of a measurement over time. Sensors are typically re-calibrated at schedules determined by sensor drift rates. A lower drift rate means the sensor is more accurate for a longer period of time and does not need to be re-calibrated as often.
Phase Sensors has demonstrated better drift performance than its main competitor at 25°C and 10,000psi. Initial testing between 20,000psi and 30,000psi indicate that further work needs to be done in sensor design to reduce drift rates at very high pressure.
