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.

Opening a can of opportunities (Identification of metabolic processes leading to mycotoxin detoxification in mealworms)
925137
Mealworms can feed on mycotoxin-contaminated wheat and grow normally to be used as protein-rich poultry feed. This project will identify the novel detoxification pathway in mealworms and find useful applications.

Examining peak potency and harvest timing in Cannabis sativa using synchrotron 3D chemical imaging
926006
In cannabis, specialized structures on flowers produce unique compounds with medicinal importance. This project will investigate the physical and chemical landscape of these surface structures through the application of 3D imaging and synchrotron light technologies, revealing how the broad range of medicinal compounds are sequestered on cannabis flowers.

High-throughput screening of microorganisms for novel ligninolytic enzymes and their applications in biomass valorization
925214
"Biorefinery" is a potential alternative for the petrochemical industry. Lignin valorization is key to its sustainability. Decomposing lignin polymers into aromatic subunits for value-added chemicals and fuels needs novel enzymes with selective activities in a green and mild biocatalytic process. HPT screening facilitates the quick discovery of novel ligninolytic enzymes.

Dual-Channel Photothermal Interferometry: Constraining the Climate Impacts of Black Carbon
925140
The project "Dual-Channel Photothermal Interferometry: Constraining the Climate Impacts of Black Carbon" will construct a new instrument for traceable measurements of aerosol light absorption, which are essential to climate science and public health. This instrument, the first of its kind, will support Canada’s clean-emissions goals and Arctic monitoring programs.

Development of Novel Maneuverability Capability for Small Satellites Using Aerodynamic Forces
925149
The capability of small satellites have advanced in the last decade into mission capable assets. Without propulsion systems, they lack maneuverability to exploit advantages as constellations. It is proposed to evaluate the feasibility using aerodynamic forces generated in the low earth orbit to improve maneuverability of small satellites.
