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.

AI and machine learning for crop genomics
969298
The collaboration, at the intersection of AI and the biology of plant proteins, will extract meaningful biological information patterns and produce valuable information for future research and application in diverse agricultural fields. Specifically, the Project’s primary objective is to develop models that predict molecular phenotypes--including transcript abundance and protein abundance-directly from DNA sequences. The unique interdisciplinary nature of the Project will lay the foundation for training high-quality professionals (at multiple levels of education) while integrating burgeoning fields of applied and basic science.
