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.

Bridging Simulation and Measurement Data through Machine Learning for Enhanced Silicon Photonics Device Models
1014845
Notably, the performance of fabricated on-chip integrated silicon photonic components and devices deviates from the theory due to imperfect fabrication and other external factors. Using a variety of machine learning approaches that include surrogate models, inverse models and transfer learning, the project will develop methods to correlate the actual shape of the fabricated devices to the optical measurement data.

Smart Concrete Plant - Machine learning and material monitoring sensors to optimize concrete mixtures
1018004
The goal of the project is to benefit from the extensive Betotech domain expertise in raw material monitoring, concrete mixture development, historical data, and testing facilities, to develop algorithms which will incorporated into Giatec's product platform. The outcome will be to provide customers with concrete sensors and software that can perform: (a) the prediction of concrete mixture performance variations attributed to raw material changes and (b) the optimization of concrete mixtures in terms of cost and carbon footprint attributable to changes in material characteristics.
