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.

EUREKA Project 15619 NOVIRALRISK – Risk of viral contagion in buildings from airborne-transmission of pathogens

Agreement Number:

963593

Duration: from Jan 1, 2021 to Nov 30, 2023
Description:

EUREKA Consortium Project 15619 NOVIRALRISK – Risk of viral contagion in buildings from airborne-transmission of pathogens led by the National Research Council of Canada with partners from Germany, Finland, and Sweden.

This project is intended as a means to provide specific scientific and technical building system information on strategies to optimize the operation of HVAC or passive ventilation systems within buildings and identify potential gaps in respect to their operation versus the recommendations provided by cognizant authorities of the participating countries. Air purification equipment will be evaluated as possible solutions for deployment in either existing or new buildings, thereby helping ensure the risk of contagion from airborne transmission is minimized .

Satellite Video Analytic Software Development

Agreement Number:

963606

Duration: from Jan 1, 2021 to Mar 31, 2021
Description:

To develop a satellite video analytic software for large satellite imagery. The software developed will provide various machine learning tools to retrieve a wide variety of information about the video and imagery being analyzed. The simple user-friendly graphic user interface will let the operator to easily use the software with very little prior experience with the software. The software solution for satellite imagery processing can be applied in maritime environments with ship detection, semantic segmentation, identification, and tracking for satellite videos for both visualization within the software and to export the extracted information in remote sensing standard formats like geoJSON.

Developing cost-effective fabrication processes for a wearable ultrasound device

Agreement Number:

964640

Duration: from Jan 1, 2021 to Mar 18, 2022
Description:

The transducer and electronics of an ultrasound probe can be significantly optimized and simplified by careful design for a specific application. The FloPatch uses continuous wave Doppler ultrasound, with relatively simple electronics to produce a pressure wave from one of two identical transducers and process the echoes received by the other. We have developed functional prototypes with a miniaturized, wearable form factor and demonstrated their ability to measure changes in carotid blood flow. The challenge now is to make the device low cost, and therefore commercially viable.
