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.

Proof of Concept for a New Approach to Scintillator Data Analysis
912722
Rad/Comm Systems Corp. is a privately owned Canadian company specializing in the design, manufacture and servicing of highly sensitive radiation detection systems.
The objective of this project is to demonstrate in principle non-traditional methods of analyzing Sodium Iodide crystal detector data that will significantly shorten scan times and decrease detector scintillator volumes, while maintaining current performance.
If statistical algorithms could be developed that decrease scan times and scintillation detector volumes, the affordability and performance of detection systems would increase drastically. Markets that currently would not pay for these type of detector panels, could now be interested in implementing the new technology
