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.

Thermographic Phosphor Streak Velocimetry
967270
The group at OVGU Magdeburg will lead the development of the proposed Thermographic Phosphor Streak Velocimetry technique. The team will apply the diagnostic to heated laminar and turbulent air and validate it against the conventional Thermographic Particle Image Velocimetry. Additional experiments on a heated boundary layer will be set-up in Magdeburg to apply the technique in a challenging near-wall configuration, and the results will be compared the results of synthetic streak simulations performed at Polytechnique Montreal. The team at OVGU Magdeburg will also work closely with the NRC to both implement the TPSV system at the NRC and set up the two-phase flow experiment.

Thermographic Phosphor Streak Velocimetry
967272
To characterize the performance of the proposed thermographie phosphor streak velocimetry (TPSV) technique, high-fidelity numerical
flow simulations will be performed at Polytechnique Montréal. The flow configuration will consist of a turbulent boundary layer
developing over a heated fiat plate. Synthetic TPSV measurements will be implemented using a particle tracing algorithm to provide
fine-grained validation and characterization of the experimental technique. Furthermore, the synthetic measurements will provide
information otherwise inaccessible from experiments, such as the rôle of 3D effects and potential slip velocity between the particles
and the surrounding flow.

Flavouromics for pulse studies
969540
A major contributor to volatile organic compounds (VOCs)-associated off-flavours in pulse products is lipoxygenase (LOX). The Project will employ a flavouromics approach to provide a better understanding of these off-flavour formations by examining the LOX activity, fatty acids and VOCs profile of selected yellow peas, including processed fractions, and to investigate their association with their sensory profile.

Process modelling for digital twins of robot-assisted orthopedic surgery
969579
Despite these advantages, issues such as cost, safety, and training must be addressed before Robot-Assisted Orthopedic Surgery (RAOS) becomes widely available. This Project will employ a digital twin approach to help reduce the cost and increase the safety of RAOS technology. Offline and in-process computer simulations are a key part of the current RAOS systems. This Project seeks to enhance these simulations by integrating the process physics (e.g. forces, temperature, vibrations). Specifically, the Project focuses on combining physics-based and data-driven methods to develop high-fidelity and high-efficiency models of the process physics during RAOS.
