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.

Assessing Crop Health and Yield with AI and Remote Sensing for Climate-Smart Agriculture
SCAP-ASP-253
The project aims to address gaps in crop health and yield assessment by developing assessment and monitoring techniques to support Canada's agricultural industry. The project will work towards developing advanced, AI-driven solutions that integrate multi-source remote sensing data with agroclimatic and field-level information that will more accurately assess and predict seeding and emergence dates, crop drought, and crop yield.

Snow Water Equivalent Estimation for Flooding Warning Using Deep Learning Based Segmentation and InSAR Technologies Utilizing RCM CP Data
22AO2-AUGS
This project aims to develop a technology that can provide a reliable estimation of snow water equivalent (SWE) for monitoring and forecasting potential snowmelt flood events in Canada. This will be done through utilizing RADARSAT Constellation Mission compact polarimetric (RCM CP) data, by using innovative deep learning-based classification and segmentation techniques to map/segment snow coverage extent. A.U.G. Signals will also perform accurate snow depth and snow water equivalent estimations. The final result will help local hydrologic and disaster management services to determine the risks of snowmelt-induced flooding at a given location.
