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.

Accelerating design and development of high entropy alloys using machine learning
969088
High entropy alloys (HEAs) are a new class of metallic materials that contain five or more metals in equimolar or near-equimolar ratios, which have higher strength, ductility, fracture toughness, and catalytic activity compared to traditional alloys that are made by solution hardening, precipitation hardening, and grain refinement. Considering that there are 75 stable elements that are not toxic, radioactive or noble gases, millions of new alloy systems are possible.
The main goal of this Project is to develop and apply machine learning techniques for discovery, design and development of HEAs with desired properties for high-temperature structural, and catalytic applications. This Project will speed up the exploitation of the subtle relationships between the composition and properties of materials, and machine learning (ML) will help screen candidate HEAs that have desired mechanical and functional properties. In this Project, candidate materials will be synthesized and optimized, with the research team intending to design and develop new HEAs for high-temperature structural applications (e.g. in gas turbine), and functional applications (e.g. catalysts for CO2 reduction to methane and methanol).
