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.

Utilizing Deep Learning for Fully Automated Feature Extraction from Mobile LiDAR Scans of Highways

Agreement Number:

952279

Duration: from May 1, 2020 to Jul 31, 2021
Description:

The proposed work aims to advance Nektar’s LiDAR processing capabilities by developing Deep Neural Networks for fully automated point cloud processing. Over the past 2 years, Nektar has invested heavily in mobile laser scanning equipment while also developing multiple state-of-the-art handcrafted algorithms for efficient processing of LiDAR datasets for transportation infrastructure projects. As the LiDAR market grows, Nektar is challenged with improving the efficiency of its processing to handle 100s of million points and Gigabytes/Terabytes of data. Nektar aims to employ Artificial Intelligence to develop models for automated simultaneous detection of multiple objects within the volumetric, exhaustive, and unorganized point clouds.

Using Indigenous wisdom to develop sustainable products and packaging.

Agreement Number:

952299

Duration: from May 1, 2020 to Jan 31, 2021
Description:

As an Indigenous beauty brand, we feel compelled to move to more sustainable products. Indigenous people are the founders of sustainability and Cheekbone Beauty is using pre-industrial wisdom to build a new beauty brand. Develop contour/foundation sticks and then further use our findings to develop more products based on the model of sustainability. We are using agricultural waste or plant-based by-products as the main ingredient in the cosmetics product, based on a circular economy and using less petroleum-based ingredients in cosmetics meeting consumer demand for plant-based ingredients. We are also using packaging that will use less plastic; raw ingredients that are sustainable will be housed in packaging that will biodegrade or compost.

Scaling Product Backend for User Analytics

Agreement Number:

952337

Duration: from May 1, 2020 to Mar 31, 2021
Description:

metaKinetic, is a simulation-based training application for Energy technical professionals. The platform hosts tens of simulations to teach complex concepts and workflows in geosciences and subsurface engineering through visualization and user interaction. With the forecast of hundreds of active users, the need for tracking, collecting, and analyzing user information as they interact with the application is inevitable. The primary objective of the proposed project is to re-factor and expand the existing product backend to enable user data collection and scalability by implementing a new architecture (while continuing to support the current version until the rollout) to further the business growth and product development.
