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.

Reagent Expansion
933557
Upon completion of this project, scientists in industry and academic institutions will be able use BenchSci to find numerous reagents (e.g. RNAi, Recombinant, CRISPR, Cell Line) that are most likely to work in their specific experiments. This will help to reduce experimental failure by providing users access to AI-assisted reagent selection.

Branding Development
934424
This project will focus on revitalizing our brand and packaging to reflect Hummingbird’s position as one of the world’s best chocolate makers.
To this end, Hummingbird requires assistance and the expertise of a creative partner that will help us to craft an international brand. This brand agency will interpret and actualize our vision into a compelling and emotive brand that will captivate consumers throughout all stages of engagement and help us to grow to scale. The agency will focus on brand positioning, visual branding, product packaging, and supportive marketing materials, while staff time is also required to research packaging materials and suppliers required to implement new designs.

Universal Design to Learning - nBot
934547
The nBot project will enable a classroom or conference room to become universally accessible for all. The goal of the project is to remove any barriers to learning a student might encounter in the course of their studies, or an employee might face in their work environment. This device will become a cohesive platform with the existing NTEhub application to create an environment for learning, helping to overcome learning disabilities or disadvantages.

Predictive based stable and accurate indoor localization
935113
This project will develop a new indoor localization algorithm that further augments our primary value proposition of accurate indoor location and leverages IP previously developed as a result of IRAP supported projects. This algorithm will address fundamental accuracy and stability weaknesses in existing localization techniques based on absolute signal strengths (such as trilateration), while eliminating the logistical and practical shortcomings of newer techniques based on relative signal strengths. Improved accuracy and stability for Wifi-based localization techniques is key to enabling broadly available indoor location services on top of existing IT infrastructure.

Feasibility of manufacturing carbon black-based nanomaterials from plastic waste
935267
The innovation project aims to manufacture nanomaterials by sequestering carbon from plastic waste destined for landfill. The objective is to conduct a feasibility study for the eventual construction of a plant to manufacture a version with a minimal environmental footprint of a product useful to society, with a process that also reduces an industrial partner's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
