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.

UI/UX Development Project (Part 1) and Digital Growth Marketing Program with TMU (Part 2)
1030407
The firm wishes to redevelop and implement the interface to our software suite, SCADAScope. SCADAScope’s UI/UX is fragmented across multiple modules. This limits its commercial appeal and hinders adoption by wind farm operators. The existing design lacks an intuitive approach, making it hard for users to navigate, access reports seamlessly, and understand critical data. This results in poor adoption and underutilization of existing features and a lack of understanding from users and potential customers about what the software offers them.
SCADAScope's UI/UX redesign aims to unify its disparate modules into a seamless, easy-to-use platform. It will then need to be marketed in the digital sphere, driving new customer leads and sales.

Youth - Biochemical Engineers
1030432
This project will allow the hiring of two youth employees to participate in Gaia's "10 Stack" project. The objective of the project is to perform technical derisking of acetate fuel cell stacks with each cell at full commercial size (aka ‘10-stack’). Gaia Refinery introduces an innovative approach to carbon dioxide removal (CDR). One of this approach's key components is using an acetate fuel cell. We aim to upscale the 10 stack to its fully commercial size, which represents a near-desired configuration. This 10-stack will be optimized in a simulated operational environment to achieve comparable performance with bench scale.
