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.

High-performance propellant additives for new state-of-the-art launch vehicles
20STDPL30
Most propellant fuels come with inherent caveats such as difficult handling, high toxicity, difficult storage, as well as performance compatibility specific to liquid-fuel engines. Hybrid engine launch vehicles have recently gained attention as promising alternatives to conventional launch vehicles. ACSYNAM is developing new propellant additives that will increase the performance of hybrid launch vehicles. The new technology is based on a proprietary materials platform that enables the development of high-energy, high-safety additives to improve the combustion and mechanical properties of hybrid engines. The propellant will be designed to be easily integrated into existing hybrid engine fuel mixtures.

OPALS: Enabling autonomous robotics in the new space economy
20STDPO10
While Lumibird's Obscurant Penetrating LIDAR (OPAL) is being integrated in many projects (e.g. mining, airports and subsea inspection & mapping), the widespread adoption of LIDAR based vision systems is constrained by their overall envelope (mass, size, power) and cost.
The objective of this project is to design, develop and test a fully integrated prototype of the OPAL Nano LIDAR based vision system for autonomous robotic applications, specifically targeted at new-space lunar missions. This project aims to achieve a next-generation LIDAR system that would drastically reduce the system's mass, size and power consumption footprint.
