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.

EUREKA Cluster – SUSTAINET Guardian – Guided utilities for automation, resilience, and Digital innovation in advanced networks 

Agreement Number:

1037615

Duration: from Oct 1, 2025 to Sep 27, 2028
Description:

Acentury will participate with consortium partners to research and create a process for creating “digital twins” for communication networks, also known as “Network Digital Twins” or NDTs.
The NDT will replicate a physical network, allowing for testing, optimization and simulation of network activity in a virtual environment. The purpose of the NDT / LAMTA integration is for operators to use "LAMTA NDT" to test their networks virtually, without always needing a physical lab.
Acentury will leverage our expertise in network element configuration, deployment and testing to generate customer specific NDTs that support a wide range of use cases.

AI Assist: ARP AI Pilot Project for Building Advanced Test suite capability for orchestrating 5G /6G Telecom networks using AI/ML Technology

Agreement Number:

1026238

Duration: from Jan 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2025
Description:

The core goal of this project is to integrate AI driven capabilities into LAMTA to assist users in creating, editing, and managing end-to-end test scripts, as well as to provide intelligent log analysis during test execution. The AI will be aware of all the lab's resources—including radios, chambers, RF attenuation arrays and matrices—and will leverage this knowledge to take natural language prompts from users and transform them into fully functional test scripts. It will significantly simplify the test development process, enabling users to describe their testing needs in plain language while the AI configures the necessary components and scripts for execution.

EUREKA CELTIC NEXT -SUSTAINET - Feasibility Study Project

Agreement Number:

1023064

Duration: from Oct 15, 2024 to Feb 20, 2025
Description:

The SUSTAINET feasibility study project is to help firm define their strategic roadmap, individual KPIs and integration points to better align their unique contribution to the project.*

Since Acentury can add value to all three sub-projects, the Feasibility Study Project will be used to engage with other SUSTAINET participants, virtually and in-person. The purpose will be to determine where Acentury’s involvement will be the most valuable to the consortium. Based on this engagement, we will further define the specific nature of our contribution to that pillar.
