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.

Duration: from Aug 1, 2024 to Mar 10, 2025
Description:

Jordan has been working for the past 3 months on a high speed hydraulic punching system for a rollforming line. It consists of a piercing and a cutting hydraulic press. He went through the adaptation of a reference design, the sizing of the actuators (servo motors, valves, cylinders) and is now finalizing the detailing of the drawings before releasing for production
In the near future and for the next 3-4 months, he will enter our junior hands on learning program where he will support the testing and assembly team through the validation of the capabilities of different production lines. The objective is to give him a better understanding of the common issues of our products to then improve our design once he is back into design.

High Throughput Experimentation for Energy Storage Cathode Development – Advanced Methods and Integration

Agreement Number:

1021543

Duration: from Aug 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

The Project’s objective is to establish and refine advanced Li-ion methodologies that are amenable to high-throughput experimentation (HTE), along with enhancing capabilities, with the explicit goal of accelerating the experimentation process in the realms of lithium-ion cathode synthesis, electrode fabrication, and electrochemical evaluation. The focus is on advancing the efficiency and speed of these crucial stages in the development and assessment of battery components. The Project team will develop for HTE and where applicable automated, material synthesis, electrode preparation, and electrochemical testing. The new electrochemical methods that will be developed in high-throughput include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiostatic intermittent titration technique, to more fully understand changes taking place in the cells during battery operation. The Project also aims to study disordered rocksalt materials in high-throughput and develop new compositions that overcome current limitations that are preventing these materials from being commercialized.

Duration: from Aug 1, 2024 to Mar 21, 2025
Description:

Everest Solutions Group (“Everest”) aims to create an online solution capable of creating and managing Digital ID cards for students at colleges, universities and high schools in North America. The main purpose of the system is to replace the need for students and staff to carry physical ID cards that need to be printed and maintained. Beyond simple identity verification, a digital ID can also be used to:
- Provide access to campus buildings by interfacing with electronic door systems.
- Link student identity to other school systems such as cafeteria (meal plans), library and lab access.

AI-Informed Expertise Updates

Agreement Number:

1021397

Duration: from Aug 1, 2024 to Sep 30, 2026
Description:

It is difficult to keep documented procedures, process, and general how-to information (often called Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)) current. Insurance, equipment, materials and software change regularly and turnover is high so that established company knowledge quickly becomes outdated, difficult to access and possibly incorrect. This project will create a system based on Large Language Models (LLM) that identifies customer processes that are outdated and suggests changes and improvements for them to make to keep their existing SOPs relevant for all team members.
