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.

Youth Employment Project - Load Testing
953168
Altus Assessments, a company based in Toronto, Ontario is responsible for delivering CASPer test, a situational based judgement test, that allows universities and colleges to look at applicants holistically. We will use the NRC IRAP contribution to hire a new graduate to lead the development of a load simulator that allows us to understand and improve load (# of applicants that can be tested) performance issues during a single test sitting.

Management Console Consolidation Project
953176
Ackroo acquired multiple competitor and non competitor companies and their products and technology in the gift and rewards and marketing industry in Canada. With this, some technology assets come with web console components. Ackroo already has its legacy original Program Console web application used by its clients, the merchant, to manage their rewards and gift program online and their customer base and a Virtual Terminal (VT) web application that is used for processing transactions for any internet and web browser enabled devices. As such, Ackroo wants to consolidate these management web consoles into a single web application that offers tools for program setup, customer and transaction lookup, a marketing/communication hub, and VT.

Power-Efficient Transistor for I/O Applications: Contact Materials & Interfaces
953243
Power-efficiency is a key performance metric for the next-generation of consumer electronics, and is achieved by reducing the power consumption of device components such as input/out (I/O) transistors used in backend processes. Wide-band oxide semiconductors are prime candidates to replace silicon-based I/O transistors, due to its high field tolerance. Their efficiency performance can be further improved by interfacing the transistor's source and drain regions with a contact electrode materials that minimizes contact resistance. The goal of this project is to develop manufacturing recipes for a promising set of select contact materials to achieve ideal minimizes power dissipation and thereby improving power performance.
