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.

AI Assist : Video Search Platform Build

Agreement Number:

1026392

Duration: from Jan 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

The proliferation of Large Language Models (LLMs) makes it possible for applications to be built that access those models and know as "intelligent applications" These applications will have wide ranging utility to streamline workflow and automate routine processes. The intelligence of the pre-trained data LLMs makes it possible to incorporate unstructured data and natural language

This project will result in the first application development environment for users to build intelligent applications based on LLMs and other unstructured data sources. The Versos platform will expose a range of services, sometimes referred to as endpoints, through an API. Users will access these "services" to accelerate the building of intelligent applications

Duration: from Jan 1, 2025 to May 14, 2025
Description:

This project focuses on enhancing in-game data collection by
modifying the existing system to track and send detailed utility
usage data to a desktop application. The collected data will
include coordinates, timestamps, and affected players, which
will be sent after each round. The state management system
will be refactored to store historic game events per player and
match, initially using local storage with future plans for
database synchronization. React components will be
developed to visually represent different utilities and their
effects using SVG graphics, while Typescript hooks will
facilitate flexible data querying. Finally, the map interfaces will
be updated to show round-specific highlights and post-game
analysis, ta

Description:

As part of EUREKA - Clusters ITEA Program, the project "ITEA - 23042 - AIDESL - Fully Automated AI Data Extraction from Scientific Literature" seeks to work globally with11 partners across 6 countries to establish methodological standards for AI LLM’s use to reduce the time it takes to complete a systematic literature review (SLR), accelerate time to market impact of SLRs use for regulatory submissions, and lower reviewer fatigue and burnout from their overall manual conduct of SLRs. The Firm will specifically assist in the partnership via three work packages: development of AI and LLM techniques for SLR; integration, demonstration, and evaluation of no code/low code LLM in the pharmaceutical environment; and exploitation and standardization of project management of the consortium.
