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.

Pre-Commercialilization of Grassland Mushrooms on Unique Feedstock and Bees as a possible Natural Mushroom Metabolite Extraction Method
1022192
This project will advance novel high value NL mushroom production through an organic certified and permaculture production lens.
Three different mushroom feed stocks (10,000m2) will be explored for: 1) improved crop production density to 75% vs 25% previously, and 2) identify selected bioactive compounds vs traditional methods of production.
In parallel, apiculture will be established to determine the behavior and efficacy of honey bees feeding on the surface metabolite produced by the blewit.

Hire a Graduate to Assist in Novel Mushroom Production Innovation
1018811
This project will utilize a graduate to investigate the potential for using various strains of novel species for remediation of toxins and food production.
The graduate’s focus will be analyzing existing literature, strain selection, collaborating with researchers and labs, setting up experiments, production yields, and ecological data to further develop commercial mycelium based products. Future recommendations for future commercialization strategies are expected.
