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.

Model-based control of continuous welding of thermoplastic composites
964051
Resistance welding produces high quality components with a repeatable manufacturing process. However, direct scale-up is not feasible, as the power and pressure requirements for joining large components becomes cost and
space prohibitive. Continuous resistance welding (CRW) effectively breaks down a large weld into smaller segments or weld sections and implements continuous motion of the welding tip along the weld seam. The performance
and quality of the welded joint are directly related to the weld interface thermal history, thus welding tip speed and power input are controlled to maintain the desired weld temperature, thereby ensuring a high-quality bond.
This is only practical if process simulation is used as part of a smart control system. In this Project, UBC will develop and implement a suitable physicsbased simulation to enable CRW of complex structures.

Acceptability of explainable machine learning based decision support tools in a clinical environment
965532
The urgency of the COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a surge in the development of algorithms that address forecasting, contact tracing, screening, and treatment of COVID-19 positive patients to aid clinicians in their decision-making. However, a common feature of this work is a concern that bias in the models may mean the results do not generalize well. Moreover, such models can present challenges to identifying the underlying functional mechanism by which predictions are made and, ultimately, when they do not perform to expectation. Taken together, these issues can present significant challenges to moving such methods into clinical practice.
This Project will seek to demonstrate that user-centric development, when combined with explainable approaches to machine learning can result in greater uptake of new data-driven aids to care by clinicians. This will be done through development of best practices for introducing explainable machine learning (ML) into clinical informatics applications and a validation of these approaches in a prototype presentation layer using an explainable ML analysis that is relevant to clinical needs during pandemics as a test case.

Design of a small oven for test batches
965584
Over the years ThermalWood Canada have been presented opportunities to work with specific species on specific applications for clients all over the world. Our present thermal modification oven batches 14,000 bf at the time and does not give accurate results if you try to process very small volumes. Each species requires a different recipe depending on its application and if we cannot achieve results with a pre existing recipe, we cannot pursue the initiative any further. What we are proposing is build a small test oven that can replicate the operating parameters of our existing oven. This will allow us the flexibility to pursue new opportunities.
