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.

Valorization of seafood marine waste streams to high-value biomaterials
985980
Chitosan nanocrystals, a new family of biomaterials sourced from seafood shell waste, have outstanding properties that favor their use in the fabrication of tissue adhesive for the biomedical industry. The project aims to achieve the two goals of creating a scalable, sustainable process for the production of ChsNC from seafood waste, and consolidating research on these highly functional biomaterials for consumer applications in the biomedical sector. This project has the potential to unlock key barriers in the valorisation of an under-utilized biowaste produced in large scale in Quebec and Canada towards high value added products improving the health of
Canadians.
