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.

Enhanced Navigation and Risk Management System for Explorer for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
964211
The Project will enhance and upgrade the Memorial University of Newfoundland’s existing Explorer Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). More specifically, the sensor payload, communication, navigation and control system of the Explorer AUV will be further enhanced. This upgrade will enable the Explorer AUV as a technology platform ensuring its capability of carrying out research projects related to environmental monitoring in the oceans, and in particular projects related to detecting oil spills and micro-plastics with a variety of collaborators. As a result of these upgrades, the vehicle will also have a state of the art navigation and positioning systems. The open architecture of the Explorer allows researchers to periodically upgrade the operating profile and fault tolerance of the vehicle. This can include adding system elements needed to increase the level of autonomy for the vehicle, which in turn will allow more sophisticated missions to be completed.
