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.

Advancements in Pre & Post Processes Supporting Commercial Scale Production
1009350
In this project, Burloak will perform R&D to advance the knowledge and techniques of pre and post processing aspects of metal additive manufactured components that are hindering the field’s ability to scale production for the commercialization of space and defence. Metal 3D printing is a manufacturing method that provides freedom in designing geometrically complex components and offers solutions to lower the manufacturing cost, facilitate small-production jobs and reduce material and energy waste.

Mechanical Draftsman
1032329
FDF Raceshop is seeking funding to support the hiring of a skilled mechanical draftsman to enhance our engineering team’s capacity to deliver high-performance automotive components for motorsport applications, driving innovation through accelerated research and development (R&D) and faster time-to-market. This funding project aims to integrate a dedicated draftsman who will produce precise technical drawings and 3D models using advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software, such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks, to transform engineering concepts into manufacturable designs for critical components like chassis, suspension systems, aerodynamic elements, and drivetrain parts.

Standards-based System for Near-Real-Time 3D Online Mapping of the Globe by Integrating Various Sources of Satellite Data and Geospatial Data
GNS18-19IFP3
The purpose of this agreement/project is to provide innovative pre-commercial solution(s) that will increase awareness, adoption, and further development of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI). The CGDI is a digital infrastructure that provides interoperability and access to Canada's geospatial information on the Internet. It is available to government and non-government decision-makers who are focused on social, economic and environmental priorities and to the Canadian population at large.

Sub-cm 3D Real-Time Location System Prototype For Smart Factories, Logistics, Underground Mining and Digital Construction
1000309
The project focus is to convert the prototype Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) proof of concept, which is limited to the audible range (up to 20 kHz) into a engineered rapid prototype operating in the ultrasonic frequency range. Two units require engineering - beacons installed in known locations that transmit the ultrasonic signal, and trackers that receive beacon ultrasonic signals to compute position of a tagged asset.
