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.

Examining peak potency and harvest timing in Cannabis sativa using synchrotron 3D chemical imaging
926002
In cannabis, specialized structures on flowers produce unique compounds with medicinal importance. This project will investigate the physical and chemical landscape of these surface structures through the application of 3D imaging and synchrotron light technologies, revealing how the broad range of medicinal compounds are sequestered on cannabis flowers.

A Common Coordinate System for Radio Frequency Interference
967238
We envision developing methods and automated tools for characterizing RF environments using machine learning techniques. This
includes compact representations of signals, identifying groups (clusters) of signals, blind class discovery, classification, and assessing
novelty of signals. We envision developing a common open format for the distribution of these datasets, with a focus on compatibility
with pertinent standards such as IEEE 1900.
The sparse representation will allow for inter-site collaboration on RFI detection and mitigation techniques which will establish us as
the global leaders in combating detrimental effects of new interference sources (satellite mega constellations, 5G, etc.). The signal
classification and novelty detection will enable rapid response to new interfering events ensuring DRAO remains a unique location able
to carry out transformative radio science in Canada.
