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.

Agreement:

Enhancing feight transportation using self monitoring smart roads

Agreement Number:

974325

Duration: from Jun 1, 2021 to May 31, 2024
Description:

This Project will focus on developing an advanced network that can provide accurate, real-time information about road surface conditions to ensure the safety of roadways for all users. The Project will investigate efficient methods of maintaining safe, optimal traffic flow, particularly for freight transportation by road, which is essential to support a robust, flourishing economy. This made-in-Canada research Project will guarantee that the systems adopted here will be able to withstand harsh environmental conditions, and the systems developed will be based on locally available data, thus ensuring that both the physical operating limits of the system (i.e. operation at cold temperatures) and the information used to complement the data collected from the physical sensors are relevant to the local context. Key Project activities include:
- Developing a real-time active monitoring system for a major roadway, capable of giving real-time feedback about both structural capacity and surface conditions
- Developing an information-based system that can monitor the structural capacity of a road and alert authorities to early signs of deterioration in the road structure
- Developing a sensor-based system that accurately measures the frost and thaw depth of pavement - Developing roadway performance prediction models based on field and laboratory data
- Developing a dynamic system capable of determining allowable speed limits for the roadway, based on real-time data related to the condition of the road surface

Youth New Hire

Agreement Number:

974363

Duration: from Jun 1, 2021 to Feb 28, 2022
Description:

Smarter Alloys has a breakthrough technology that can push the operational temperature ranges of shape memory alloy actuators for aerospace and automotive applications. In consultation and through design iteration with our industry partners, Smarter Alloys has determined that a defining characteristic for actuators in this space is to function at temperatures greater than 80C. We have identified a ternary alloy that allows for the mechanical properties desired within this space. This project will support the research into the mechanical characteristics and properties of this shape memory alloy, as well as the effect of shape-based design elements to increase both yield and mechanical output.
