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.

Simulating interaction with IoT-enabled devices through virtual and augmented reality
947519
HCI research involving simulating (digital twinning) IoTenabled objects and how users may interact with them. In the context of field maintenance of complex IoT-enabled objects, the question arises of exactly how a technician would interact with the IoT-derived data and other maintenance information. The project will look at the data and information by having the technician interact with a digital twin of the object and related IoT data. To identify effective ways in which a technician would interact with this digital twin and its data, the project will implement 3D interaction and visualization techniques and conduct human experiments to assess the efficacy of those techniques. While the project will focus on aircraft engine maintenance use cases, the more general HCI research issue is how to best support technicians in their interaction with IoT-enabled devices. Consequently, the results of this project would apply to a variety of other domains as well.
