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.

Signifi BOPIS Solution
928302
Currently, locker systems are emerging throughout various industries such as parcel lockers, store pick-up lockers and IT device lockers. In fact Amazon alone is expecting to deploy over 40,000 lockers in North American.
The shortfalls of existing locker systems include the ability to handle capacity in limited spaces and various other software and integration limitations. Signifi is questing support to develop a more innovative locker system called Advance BOPIS Solution (ABS). Designed to handle products in different retail verticals to mitigate the current shortfalls within industry. Signifi will invest in additional local and in-house talent, new manufacturing jobs, and increase export sales significantly.

Development of a Commercial Grade Embedded System for a Multiparameter Physiological Monitor
928312
We have successfully developed a working prototype (V0.1) of a desktop-based remote multiparameter physiological monitor that acquires and analyzes vital signs data like ECG, pulse, blood pressure (BP), SpO2, and respiration. For rapid prototyping and testing, this system has been developed using National Instruments (NI) hardware and LabVIEW software.
We want to undertake the current IRAP project to embark on the critical task of converting our prototype V0.1 into a fully-functional commercial-grade embedded clinical device (V1.0) that will comprise a microcontroller chip interfaced with our proprietary biosensors, a touchscreen display, and embedded C running on the microcontroller for data acquisition/control/analysis.

Modular Componentized Course Builder
928407
DeepSubsconscious.ai is optimizing the technical ease of the modular, componentized course builder within the platform with the use of the company’s current technical stack. The optimization of the builder opens the ability to contribute and build course content not limited to technical staff. The expectation is to improve on the existing, proprietary language and its interpreter engine (both built by DeepSubconscious.ai) that is designed to build courses in the application. The improvement process will involve adding or improving the feature set to streamline the ease of building the course's user experience and content.
