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.

Development of Calibrated Wheel Stud Fasteners
892574
This project is the development of two systems that prevents Truck Wheels from escaping during operation thereby eliminating an oft times fatal hazard. The first invention uses a pre-calibrated wheel studs which are studs that have built in switches that activate at a predetermined stud elongation and causes a signal to be sent to the vehicle operator that a specific Lug Stud is either under torqued, over-torqued or sheared. The second invention is a compression ring that uses low Young's modulus material below the lug nut to compress and close a switch at a predetermined pre-load and cause a signal to be sent when an undesirable torque level is present.

Edsby Analytics
894194
The Edsby Analytics project adds in the ability for the Edsby learning platform to gather large amounts of diverse data from diverse sources into a standardized schema. In phase 1 of this project the architecture will be put in place to gather the data and produce visualizations and reports for educators on a permission-controlled basis. In Phase 2 of this project research will be done on ways to apply machine learning to the data sets gathered to generate additional insights that aren’t readily captured through standard visualizations.
