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.

Impact of processing on pea protein quality, in vitro and in vivo digestibility and reactive amino acids
969297
Plant-based proteins vary in both composition and digestibility/availability, with these attributes being impacted by plant genetics, growing environment, and processing conditions. Accounting for these sources of variability requires robust and validated analytical approaches. The Project will focus on how processing of pea protein (flours, concentrates, isolates) influences the nutritional quality of the protein, as determined by novel in vitro methods. The key nutritional parameters that will be investigated include composition, digestibility and metabolic availability of amino acids derived from yellow pea, including integration with novel analytical and spectral data hypothesized to impact protein quality. Data derived from the Project will advance the utilization of rapid and sensitive methods for the measurement of protein and amino acid digestibility and availability. These assays are required to permit the establishment of nutritional quality parameters for food proteins and to aid in new protein food product development activities.

Development of low power deformable mirror adaptive optics driven by MEMS-Based Lorentz force actuators
969306
Free-space optical (FSO) communication between ground stations and satellites suffer from wavefront aberration due to atmospheric turbulence. Distortions of the optical beam can destructively influence signal continuity, and reduce the speed and throughput of data transmission. Adaptive optics (AO) can mitigate distortion, by compensating the distorted wavefronts using deformable mirrors (DMs) that dynamically adjust their shape. This project will focus on the development of Low Voltage Deformable Mirrors (LVDM) activated by an array of both Lorentz and tri-electrode electrostatic actuators. Critical issues in FSO communication are physical size and power consumption. Both these issues can be minimized by utilizing low voltage DMs. One significant advantage of this approach is avoiding the need for hundreds of electrical connections to external high voltage controllers, which are required in high voltage electrostatic and piezoelectric Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) AO devices. Thus, the vision is to create an integrated Low voltage MEMS DM with low voltage drive electronics directly on-board.
