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.

Green and biodegradable electronics for food packaging, from its design (lab-scale) to its end of life’s compostability; investigation of composting process kinetics using on-line respirometry, microbial community structure and NIR spectrometry
967256
Composting technology is one of the environmental strategies of choice for the management of solid organic waste in cities: C40 City Zero Waste. When discarded, food, with its eco-packaging and new “green” electronic labels, is a particularly critical problem. Questions: are they compostable and can they all be thrown in our “brown bins”? An O2-CO2 respirometer will be used to answer these “fundamental” questions from a microbiological point of view and their eco-design.

A novel method for 3D tracking of spinal curvature using a non-invasive 3D camera and deep learning
967258
Conventional surgeries to correct scoliosis, an abnormal curvature of the spine, require multiple X-rays to guide the modification of the curvature, exposing patients and OR personnel to ionizing radiation. This project aims to eliminate the need for these x-rays by developing a fast, non-invasive imaging method to guide spinal curvature modifications.

A Novel Manufacturing Process for Gas Turbine High-Temperature Coatings
967207
Working in harsh engine environments, these coatings will degrade in performance with time and therefore it is critical to understand the mechanisms of the degradation in order to develop more durable coatings for oxidation protection of gas turbine hot section components. As a research collaborator in the NRC New Beginning Initiative project on “A Novel Manufacturing Process for Gas Turbine High-Temperature Coatings”, Prof. Shigeru Saito from Hokkaido University of Science (HUS) will work closely with the NRC Project Lead (PL) to study the properties of high-temperature coatings using his complementary expertise and resources at HUS.

Using microalgae as a platform to produce L-arginine-rich proteins
967231
NRC has established a microalgae library and identified strains have identified a few species/strains containing high contents of L-arginine. The goal of this project is to produce L-arginine in microalgae by testing the scalability of the selected strains and to prepare for a metabolic engineering approach by collecting genome-wide gene expression information during the arginine-producing growth conditions.
