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.

Green Youth - Traffic Signal Timing Estimation and Optimization
925063
This will have the effect of decreasing the amount of fuel consumed, reducing the number of stops, lowering emissions as well as easing driver frustration. This project involves development of algorithms to accurately estimate the timing of the traffic signal as well as development of methods to use this information for optimization of traffic signal timing.

Exploring New Trends of Deep Networks: Deep Generative Models with Capsules
925080
We wonder how symbolic and connectionist AI could converge in the next-generation deep learning algorithms. We approach this question by investigating and developing deep generative neural networks with capsules (multivariate stochastic neurons), which will represent elements of knowledge in capsules and dynamically piece together to produce novelties that make sense.

Full body medical image segmentation for simulation-ready finite element models
925211
We aim to develop an automated machine-learning based method to generate three-dimensional segmentations of anatomical structures from medical images in order to build patient-specific geometric models. Such a method would generate reproducible segmentations that can be used for a variety of personalized medical simulators, reducing time-to-market for these applications.

Tracking the mechanism of antibody trafficking across the blood brain barrier with advanced 3D-structure
925184
We will use Cryo-Electron Microscopy (McGill University) and Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry to study the mechanism by which antibodies bind to Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Receptor (IGF1R) and cross the blood-brain barrier. Sophisticated models of receptor/antibody interactions will be constructed and used to decipher the molecular events that initiate crossing.
