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.

Efficient Algorithmic View of Work Within an Organization

Agreement Number:

909409

Duration: from Jun 4, 2018 to Jun 30, 2019
Description:

One of the primary objectives for leaders within organizations is to get a view of the work that happens within their team and organization as a whole. Traditional means of obtaining this data involves manual collection and lookup of information presented from various systems. Even with such manual lookup, it is difficult to distinguish what information is important and what needs to be focused on. The goal of this project is to create a frictionless way for managers in organizations to get a more efficient view of the work that takes place through an algorithmic feed that presents the most relevant and important information to leaders so that at scale any person in the organization can become aware of the most important work that occurs.
