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.

Eco-Seis: Optimizing Seismic Acquisition for Reduced Environmental Footprint
962439
The Eco-Seis approach to seismic acquisition combines alternative geometries with a unique distribution of sources to provide an optimized image of the subsurface while reducing the environmental impact of cutting lines by 30-50%. This method will work with geometry variations and multiple source types, increasing the ability to minimize surface disturbance and making it possible to apply the method in many different types of terrains both within Canada and internationally.

Scale up production of COVID-19 related products
961296
Mountain Integrated Medical Devices (MIMD) is an Edmonton-based contract manufacturer of medical devices with ISO 13485 certification, ISO 7 clean room, Health Canada Registered Establishment and Registered FDA Establishment. Due to increased demand in production capacity of COVID-19 related products, the Firm intends to undertake R&D to evaluate a number of different potential scale up solutions. This will help determine whether a given scale up solution: (i) solves the correct issue, (ii) works for a particular product, (iii) is cost efficient and the best solution, and (iv) can be used across multiple product lines.
