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.

Team Grant: Canada-UK Artificial Intelligence Initiative
153679
The Canada-UK Artificial Intelligence Initiative is expected to:
1.Support innovative and cutting-edge interdisciplinary AI research that encourages the exploration of new interdisciplinary research methodologies, approaches and tools that cuts across at least two of the following research domains:
¿social sciences and humanities;
¿health and biomedical sciences; and
¿natural sciences and engineering (including computational and/or mathematical sciences).
2.Promote the development of Responsible AI through research that includes considerations of social-cultural variables (gender, racialized identity, socio-economic status, ability, etc.), biological variables (sex) and sustainable development in the research design, to ensure that the benefits of AI technologies and tools are shared broadly across society, to mitigate against potential harms, and to enhance the trustworthiness of AI;
3.Enhance existing and establish new partnerships between researchers in Canada and the UK in the area of AI research;
4.Enable the creation and uptake of research outputs/outcomes with key stakeholders (i.e. policy makers, decision makers) in both Canada and the UK; and,
5.Enhance capacity for development of AI and/or its responsible applications through sharing of infrastructure and data, and joint training of early career researchers and trainees.
