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.

The Deep Learning Co Processor (DL CoP) Semiconductor IP Research and Development Project
919255
This project is for The Deep Learning Co Processor (DL CoP) semiconductor IP project which will develop part of the compute engine sub-component of RS_DLP (Rianta Solutions Deep Learning Acceleration Processor) solution. It is an elaborate collection of tasks and functions (e.g. convolution, activation functions, pooling) for accelerating Deep Learning training and inference applications in silicon.
The IP developed will be configurable for customers to integrate into their application specific custom silicon (AI processing chips).

Dealpoint for Communities
919334
Community Investment Co-ops (CICs) are a new and innovative support system for rural economic and business development that effectively bridge the gap between local investors and local ventures in need of financing. CICs are a cost effective, community owned and controlled impact fund. They enable residents to become partners in locally driven economic development, which leads to stronger and more sustainable economies.
CICs have expressed a strong interest in DealPoint to facilitate the online execution of investments in themselves, but there must be a software product tailored according their needs.

Pre-clinical and Clinical Development for LSALT Peptide to Treat Inflammation and Kidney Injury
919337
LSALT is a peptide drug and a selective non-enzymatic dipeptidase-1 antagonist and prevents leukocyte adhesion to endothelial cells creating numerous indications for targeting inflammation in the context of microbial and non-microbial (sterile) tissue injury. In pre-clinical mouse models, LSALT has proven efficacious in preventing acute kidney injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion, toxins and sepsis. LSALT patents have been assigned to Arch Biopartners Inc. who will manage drug development and human clinical trials for acute kidney injury as the first indication. Identification of new and more effective versions of LSALT is ongoing.

Development of Novel Chemical Reagents for Commercialization to Cannabis Testing Labs
919344
Upon completion of the project, Rane will have new reagents that can be useful for the detection of cannabinoid active ingredients (THC/CBD) in the cannabis industry. This reagent can be used by non-technical persons to determine the potency of cannabis for recreational and medical purpose. This knowledge can be extended for the development of insecticides and pesticide in the agriculture and forestry field.

Youth-Green, HMI Software Development Tool
919379
Develop an online based platform that will handle PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) programming structure. This will extent into a versatile engineering platform for generic programming, HMI, and Cad development. The final product will enhance the proficiency of all projects built in this platform while at the same time decentralizing the currently model of a fixed brand to software market capitalization. The software will streamline the engineering time resulting in efficient usage of labour and resources. It will have a per developed "drag and drop" database to support "green projects" we will have templates for solar installation systems as well as solar panel supply companies pricing and system cost.

Develop Sensor Based Adaptive Welding Platform
919470
The American Welding Society's A3.0M/3.0 Standard Welding Terms and Definitions defines mechanized welding as "welding with equipment that requires manual adjustment of the equipment response to visual observation of the welding, with a torch, gun, or electrode holder held by a mechanical device". It defines automated welding as "welding with equipment that requires only occasional or no observation of the weld, and no manual adjustment of the equipment controls".
The aim of this project is to develop a broad-based platform for enabling equipment typically deployed for mechanized applications to be automated, and for this platform to be flexible enough for customer-optimization and basic programming for application-specific use.
