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 and Machine Learning for Crop Genomics
1025128
This project’s objectives are to apply data-driven discovery to support efforts that will enhance the production of Canadian protein crops. The Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii) will apply Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) methods to genomics datasets generated at the National Research Council (NRC).
Specifically, this project’s primary objective is to develop models that predict gene expression directly from DNA sequences. This collaboration at the intersection of AI and the biology of plant proteins will extract meaningful biological patterns and produce valuable information for future research and application in diverse agricultural fields. The unique interdisciplinary nature of this project will lay the foundation for training a High-Quality Professional while integrating burgeoning fields of applied and basic science.

Platform for evaluating transport-housing strategies
To develop a prototype open-source platform to help households, cities, governments to assess the real affordability of residential locations by considering the cost of transportation and housing, help cities and governments plan transit networks based on potential project impacts on costs and accessibility, and help organizations to locate their buildings, by also accounting for the costs of accessing them.
