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.

LineSpider – Installation Robot to install Bird Flight Diverters (BFDs) on Guy Wires
970885
The LineSpider is an installation robot that will be able to address the automated placement of bird flight diverters (crawling up a slope) on guy wires that support most metrological, communication, and cellular towers. BFD's are a deterrent device that alert birds to the presence of these wires, significantly reducing mortality.

Automation of precision gene editing platform to accelerate engineering of human induced pluripotent stem cells
991892
Exploiting genome editing technology to engineer enhanced and novel therapeutic attributes into clinically relevant cell types represents a disruptive modality to circumvent current challenges in cell- and gene-based therapies. The goal of this Project is to establish genome engineering tools amenable to automated and high throughput platforms that facilitate the engineering of therapeutic attributes into human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
