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.

Towards Efficient Steel Construction: Redesign, Reduce, and Reuse Strategies for Corrugated Web Plate Girders
1028391
To address national housing needs through a net-zero emissions lens, this Project adopts a three-pronged approach—Redesign, Reduce, and Reuse—to enhance the sustainability and resilience of corrugated web steel girder (CWG) construction in Canada.
In this approach, ‘Redesign’ targets efficiency in material usage and integrates sustainability from the early design stages. ‘Reduce’ & ‘Reuse’ focuses on modular CWG-column connections, enabling easy assembly/disassembly to minimize cost and downtime, and facilitating member reuse post-seismic events. The research will employ numerical simulations, experimental testing, and machine learning models to predict CWG behaviour under critical limit states (e.g., bending, shear, bearing) and enhance the seismic resilience of CWG-column connections. A reliability-based assessment framework will be developed to ensure compliance with safety margins under both service and extreme conditions, and fragility analyses quantify damage risks to inform post-disaster repair and reuse strategies. By combining structural innovation with circular economy principles, this Project contributes to low-carbon steel construction practices.
