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.

Agreement:

Novel bioreactor process to produce cosmetic ingredients from marine fungal and bacterial strains

Agreement Number:

1028907

Duration: from Feb 13, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

Croda Canada Limited is focused on the discovery and development of novel specialty chemicals for the personal care sector from its proprietary collection of marine bacteria and fungi. While the culture collection is comprised of marine?derived microorganisms collected by SCUBA at depths ranging from 30-100 ft, access to infrastructure to conduct fermentations at pressures that mimic the natural habitats of these microorganisms has not been previously available. As a result, it is likely that fermentation processes conducted at atmospheric pressure are unable to induce production of the full repertoire of metabolites encoded in the genomes of the marine microorganisms in the collection. By utilizing the novel high-pressure bioreactor technology developed by Advanced Extraction Systems Inc. in collaboration with the NRC, the Project will investigate the effect of pressure on the production of bioactive metabolites by three marine microorganisms. Results will be used to develop novel routes to new personal
care products.
