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.

Development of Edge Computing Capability
22STDPQ16
Kepler proposes bringing edge computing to the Kepler Network constellation to optimize the customer experience and increase the addressable and the capturable market of the Kepler Network service (always-on connectivity in space). To develop this capability, Kepler will take a phased approach aligned and complementary to its network development and buildout:
Phase 1 – Developing edge compute hardware capable of integration with Kepler’s in space processing architecture.
Phase 2 – Integrating and validating an edge computing algorithm with the hardware from Phase 1.
Phase 3 – Replacing the Kepler spacecraft’s current Main Processing Command Unit (MPCU) with a higher bandwidth, higher performance core to enable more processing power.
High availability and high bandwidth space-to-space communication coupled with edge compute capability will be the backbone of the new space economy. Kepler is uniquely positioned to continue Canadian leadership in deployment of this critical, enabling service to the benefit of Canada and the world.

Satellite edge analytic platform for scalable AI
22STDPR06
The proliferation of small satellites in the New Space Era has spurred the development of computational systems deployed on agile CubeSats for onboard detection of cloud and floods. There is a need for scalable space IoT frameworks for satellite edge computing (SEC): In addition to growing real-time data requirements for earth observation applications, capability to perform or offload compute on devices is critical for 1) remote areas, mountains, and sea, where ground resource and connectivity is limited 2) Delay-sensitive applications with multi-domain data for situation awareness. CSI proposes to develop an edge-AI software framework for SEC. It will increase capability of AI deployed on satellites as edge nodes while adapting to new tasks. The framework will assess models and performance to minimize bandwidth. The proposed work is demonstrated on use case in satellite processing, updating models for new scenarios onboard, and has potential for multiple satellites.

Feasibility analysis for the development of a new centrifugal pump
1002132
The present project aims at identifying the technical design characteristics (specifications) and validating the feasibility for the development of a new centrifugal pump. In this way, the firm wishes to improve the quality, durability and performance of its products. In addition, the reduction of the purchase cost and the decrease of the delivery time will be profitable for both the firm and its customers.
