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.

International Education Recruitment Algorithm

Agreement Number:

916310

Duration: from Nov 1, 2018 to Oct 31, 2019
Description:

Zept's mission is to help international students get into the best schools possible. We have indexed all Canadian university and college programs. A student can enter high school grades and select what they want to study and we will recommend the schools that are a good match. When a student likes a school, we notify that school and give them a chance to reach out to the student.
We would like to explore long term success of students (do they graduate? what careers do they get?), and find ways to bring data back into our matching algorithm.
The ultimate goal of this project is to bring back as many data points as we can into our machine learning library so that we build an algorithm that continues to improve the more it is used.
