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.

Infrastructure for electrochemical materials acceleration platforms
963521
The Electrochemical Material Acceleration Platforms (MAPs) Project will build an infrastructure to support the accelerated discovery and characterization of new materials in the area of electrocatalysis. Specifically, MAPs couples three leading edge technologies (artificial intelligence (AI), smart robotics, and high performance computing). During the Project, two MAPs will be developed. One will be used for sol-gel synthesis and the other for organic electrochemistry. Each will allow rapid characterization using both physical and electrochemical methods. Each of the MAPs will facilitate high-throughput experimentation that will lead to accelerated materials discovery of catalysts that can be used in technologies developed to produce clean fuels and reduce GHG emissions. The MAPs infrastructure will become part of a network of diverse MAPs, each being developed for different purposes but intended to be complimentary and used for collaborative research and discovery of materials.
