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.

Scaling Product Backend for User Analytics

Agreement Number:

952337

Duration: from May 1, 2020 to Mar 31, 2021
Description:

metaKinetic, is a simulation-based training application for Energy technical professionals. The platform hosts tens of simulations to teach complex concepts and workflows in geosciences and subsurface engineering through visualization and user interaction. With the forecast of hundreds of active users, the need for tracking, collecting, and analyzing user information as they interact with the application is inevitable. The primary objective of the proposed project is to re-factor and expand the existing product backend to enable user data collection and scalability by implementing a new architecture (while continuing to support the current version until the rollout) to further the business growth and product development.
