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.

Offshore Emissions Monitoring
22A02-C-CO
C-CORE and GHGSat are developing a means to monitor offshore platform Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. The Offshore Emissions Monitoring (OEM) innovation builds on several sensors and the success of recently launched GHGSat high-resolution satellites (Iris and Hugo) in detecting the smallest GHG emissions ever measured by satellite. This project will advance OEM from concept validation with offshore platforms to an operational application solution ready for implementation. The application domain is offshore operators, government environment departments, and regulatory bodies. The drivers for implementation are similar to the onshore market, including revenue potential from captured emissions, activist investor pressure, regulation, and safety.

Exploring application of eDNA metabarcoding for marine biodiversity monitoring in Gwaii Haanas
GC-1599
This contribution supports exploration of environmental DNA (eDNA) as a tool in marine biodiversity monitoring, to address a priority science gap for evidence-based conservation decision-making in Parks Canada’s ecosystems. Novel technologies and methods such as eDNA metabarcoding have potential to augment observational surveys by facilitating broader spatial and temporal sampling that can add to our understanding of ecosystems. This project will pilot cutting-edge eDNA analysis methods that will generate new information to support conservation of biodiversity and restoration of marine ecosystems.

A cloud-based, automated surface deformation mapping framework using artificial neural networks and radar interferometry: Steps toward commercializing RADARSAT Constellation Mission data
22A02-KORR
KorrAI Technologies is combining Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) with cloud computing and artificial intelligence to provide an efficient framework to automatically detect changes in surface movement. With the RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) repeat interval of 4 days in Canada, KorrAI Technologies’s solution will provide near real-time, dynamic surface deformation monitoring. KorrAI Technologies proposes to commercialize the petabytes of over twenty years’ worth of historical radar data collected from the previous RADARSAT-1 mission, as well as ongoing data collected by the RCM mission, providing Canadian firms with an unprecedented level of data access and analytical capabilities.
