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.

Glycosphingolipids and phospholipids as novel danger signals for activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in prodromal Parkinson’s disease
967243
Dysfunctional innate immune system, aberrant lipid metabolism and chronic inflammation plays a pivotal role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. We aim to use quantitative neurolipidomics (uOttawa) to identify novel "lipid signatures" that can act as sterile triggers to activate inflammatory responses and leverage antibody-based therapeutics (NRC) to extinguish the fire of inflammation.

Optimizing computer vision systems for resolving complexity in pea 3D root architectural traits
969441
Three dimensional (3D) imaging of plants is superior to two dimensional (2D) approaches and is being applied in numerous phenotyping applications globally to advance genetic gain. The Project focuses on the development of an enhanced 3D root phenotyping platform with step-change improvements to both imaging and trait analysis pipeline including data capture, segmentation, skeletonization, 3D reconstruction and trait extraction and analysis using AI and deep-learning methods as critical advancements.

Platform for Ice-accretion and Coatings Tests with Ultrasonic Readings (PICTUR)
967225
Modern aircrafts have deicing systems normally using 1) special materials, 2) weeping anti-ice fluid, 3) heated bleeding air, 4) electrical heaters, 5) pneumatic boots, or 6) vibrating electro-mechanical surfaces placed at the leading edge of the wings and horizontal stabilizers. Pilots must decide to activate the system if icing is observed and adjust the approach by increasing the landing velocities by 37 km/h (20 knots). Several accidents have occurred due to aircraft icing accretion. Manufacturers require enhanced test facilities and more effective 3D computational tools to design and certify aircraft against more stringent icing requirements. The current investigation aims at the assessment and development of 3D numerical techniques to model aircraft icing accretion with de-icing systems. Flows around the test platform of various geometries will be simulated with a turbulence model including impinging super-cooled water droplets, which will be compared with in situ ice accretion measurements.
