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.

Quantifying Trust in Autonomous Medical Advisory Systems
CFPMN2-017
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are key to medical support and care in remote and austere environments. However, they introduce two primary challenges for trust and adoption, which are not adequately addressed in existing autonomous systems because they are not well understood; these include: 1) uncertainty in AI decision models, and 2) the impact of autonomous systems on human-machine interaction as a joint cognitive system (JCS). We propose to develop a framework to quantify trust in autonomous medical advisory systems (AMAS) decisions and optimize for integration into a joint cognitive system (JCS).

Safe Homes Pilot to increase women's safety in rural northern communities
GV18007-01
The project will test up to three different solutions of providing safe homes in three smaller, remote communities in the Northwest Territories that currently do not have a safe space to go for women who are experiencing violence.
The supplemental funds and extension will be used to collect data for the evaluation and explore avenues to sustain the sites after the end of the project.
