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.

Prediction of delta-V of crashed vehicles
955749
Objectives
· Develop a machine learning model capable of determining the delta-v (dV) of a vehicle based on a series of images showing vehicle damage.
· Develop a machine learning model capable of taking the delta-v and other indicates such as a passenger's position in a vehicle to determine possible injury suffered by the vehicle occupants.

2020 LSBC Investor Readiness Program for SMEs
956640
The 2020 LifeSciences BC Investor Readiness Program for SMEs will bring together ten early-stage BC SMEs with an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR). EIRs will be carefully selected and matched to each SME based on specific experience and knowledge relevant to that particular SME. The program will support the participating SMEs to become “investor ready” by providing them with new skills to successfully attract investment funds. 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.

High-value chemicals electro synthesis from carbon dioxide waste
958944
An integrated electrochemical reactor that first reduces CO2 to hydrocarbons and subsequently upgrades the resultant CO2-derived products into novel, higher-value products is to be developed. A key reaction to be investigated during the project is first converting CO2 to ethylene and then upgrading to ethylene glycol. There has been significant progress in the demonstration of cathodic CO2 reduction to small carbon molecules such as CO and ethylene, but there has been much less work in further upgrading such molecules into higher value products in an integrated system. This will be a key objective of the project. When products offering a greater economic value can be obtained from renewable electrosynthesis, then these pathways are likely to be commercially adopted and result in major climate benefits at scale. The project will therefore focus on developing a technological pathway to promote new and valuable CO2-derived hydrocarbon upgrading reactions, with ethylene to ethylene glycol as the initial model system.
