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.

Defect Detection in battery dry cells to Improve Safety and Prevent Fire Incidents
1030248
EECOMOBILITY has created a rapid battery testing system – EECOPower - that is extremely sensitive and can detect defective cells and modules quickly at the end of production lines. The system relies on our advanced information extraction technologies and AI. Our product is the fastest in the market capable of meeting the requirements of Giga factories and OEMS, producing or integrating over 6 Millions cells per day. Currently, EECOPower can only be used at the end of the production lines of battery cells and modules. Under this project, EECOPower's functionality and hardware will be revised for its application early in the production cycle and before cells are filled with electrolyte, at a production stage referred to as dry cell.

Youth - Mechanical Engineer
1030263
CSI is seeking funding support to hire and train a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate with exceptional aptitude in mathematics and engineering fundamentals. Although she does not yet possess the specific skillsets required for our operations, her strong analytical capabilities and technical foundation make her an ideal candidate for development into a specialized role.
The objective of this project is to provide a structured 10–12 month training program focused on embedded systems design, with particular emphasis on C programming and data analysis from our proprietary hardware. This program will equip her with the practical, software-focused skills necessary to contribute effectively to our R&D and product optimization effort.

User-Facing Condition Management Feature for Appraisals
1030266
Conditions, which are a required part of a lender's mortgage approval commitment letter, must be fulfilled in order for the lender to proceed with a loan, and include things like proof of income, proof of down payment, name of lawyer, and acceptable appraisal report.
This Project is to add a new feature module for lenders so they can embed Value Connect solution capabilities within their condition management portals which contain a list of all the conditions remaining and fulfilled, much like a task list.

Development of distributed control system with card based main control box for poultry feeding station
1030352
Ensuring flock uniformity is crucial in raising poultry, as it maximizes reproductive efficiency and reduces processing inefficiencies in meat-type birds. A precision feeding system allows for the testing of different feed formulations and feeding algorithms, leading to higher productivity and healthier, and more efficient poultry meat production, while minimizing environmental impacts. This project aims to complete and test a new card-based modular poultry feeding station at the University of Alberta poultry facility. Upon project completion, an optimized, tested, and user-friendly feeding system will be ready for testing in a commercial poultry facility and ready for regulatory approval for sale to research institutions.
