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.

Automated material synthesis using deep reinforced learning
969508
This Project will develop new machine learning algorithms for automating aspects of physical chemistry by discovering new pathways for creating materials with desired properties. The goal is to use the framework of reinforcement learning as a means of discovering, controlling, and optimizing the production of new materials. This Project will explore a novel new direction to perform decision making associated with established but highly complex processes used to transform one chemical compound into another.

Photonic adaptive optics for wavefront error reconstruction
969588
To mitigate cost and space issues, the Project will develop an on-chip adaptive optics (AO) phase shifting system using the integrated silicon photonic analogue of a deformable mirror.

Development of transfer learning methods for diagnostic application of lipido/metabolomics
969644
This Project is a collaboration between NRC and the University of Victoria (UVic) to develop Transfer Learning methods that utilize a large dataset for healthy patients with the aim of developing a model for the analysis of smaller patient populations. In this way, it will provide a base model for early personalized-diagnosis that is accurate across different patient subpopulations. The Project will focus on two neurodegenerative diseases - Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Latex agglutination tests for rapid, instrument-free COVID-19 diagnostics in saliva (Phase 2)
969766
The Project is to optimize unique latex agglutination tests (LATs) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus in saliva in an inexpensive "chewable diagnostic" format. The LATs for SARS-CoV-2 are to be performed in a single step, with the aim that the results will be readable by visual inspection, with the potential for automated readout via a smart-phone. By the end of this Project, LATs implemented in the chewable cartridge format will have been developed, optimized, and evaluated in a pilot scale clinical trial.

Exploitation of the earth data store for data driven mission planning for airborne
camera systems.
969829
This is a highly domain-specific task, and every set of new data
sources requires at least some manual work to identify the best alignment methodologies. In this Project, the focus will be on exploiting EDS satellite data in a form that can be used with Sensair software.
