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 Development of a Durable Nanoparticle Ink for High Volume Textile Printing

Agreement Number:

912934

Duration: from Sep 1, 2018 to Aug 2, 2019
Description:

The project involves the development of an ink formulation that can be used to deposit Arylla's nanoparticle based anti-counterfeiting technology onto clothing labels. The final solution must survive standard wear and tear expected for clothing products (washing, dry cleaning etc.) and meet specific cost/throughput requirements. The project will enhance a line of existing products which will enable Arylla to increase the value it currently provides to its customers and facilitate expansion into new markets.

Design Thinking-based design critique and user interface evaluation

Agreement Number:

912992

Duration: from Sep 1, 2018 to Mar 15, 2019
Description:

OCAD U offers IRAP Design Thinking-based design critique and user interface evaluation services in support of IRAP’s mission. Design Thinking is a multi-disciplinary problem-solving approach that cultivates creative ideation, iterative prototyping, and concurrent business analysis using structured methods that promote deep understanding of real needs and the attainment of significant business outcomes. Design Thinking has been identified as a key approach for developing innovative solutions that are desirable, effective and viable.Participants engage in authentic studio environments where art and design thinking promotes problem-focused solutions for workshopping ideas, product, service, and policy development. Our model is based on engaging participants in all three learning domains: cognitive (Head), affective (Heart), and psychomotor (Hand). Outcomes focus on the acquisition of knowledge, the development of affective investment in this knowledge and the change
