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.

GeoTRAC - Experimental Development Of An Instrumented Smart Sensing And Imaging Track Crawler To Deliver Unprecedented Rolling Subseabed Geotechnical Data
947290
PanGeo Subsea is seeking to design and develop an innovative adaptation of a Bottom Crawler Remote Operated Vehicle (CROV) with fully integrated 3D Sub-Bottom Imaging (SBI), and Resistivity Scanning (RS) to deliver a full seabed soil property solution. The product will be a unique fusion of volumetric acoustic and electrical responses to deliver unprecedented geotechnical soil information, exhibited in a continuous manner. The outcome of the project is expected to be of high value to the Offshore Oil and Gas, Offshore Renewable Energy, Power, Defence and Marine Archaeology industries. The proposed innovation and new technology to be developed and trialed will be fully owned by PanGeo and will be called GeoTRAC.

AI For Simulation of Biological Systems - Probabilistic Generative Model and Bayesian Inference for Automatic Quantification of Metabolic Data
947485
AI systems that can describe and predict behavior of biological networks of cells, tissues and organisms will allow more accurate, faster and less expensive innovations in life sciences while at the same time ensuring predictable outcomes. In particular, the full potential for safe and efficient utilization of gene editing and live cell therapies requires an ability for controlled design of these modalities with simulations that allow testing and optimization under different conditions in both production and utilization. The project will combine machine learning and mechanistic modeling for the development of simulation of biological systems and link these simulations with learning algorithms for testing and optimizing different designs. The focus of this 2 year project, will be on the development of methods for the simulation and design of desired characteristics of exosomes, as carriers of gene therapies, and development of methodologies for building simulations for HEK293, as major cells for bioreactor production and iPSC cells as major cells in stem and cell therapy development.
This project will focus on a probabilistic framework for merging data-driven methods with theory-based models. The project will also evaluate the applicability of state-of-the-art automatic metabolic quantification methods from the literature to NMR data currently being collected by the NRC.
