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.

Ice Environmental Mapping for Arctic Platform Mobility and Navigation
Funding will support research and development to address National Defence’s Challenge: North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) Modernization Science & Technology (S&T) Contest. Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and its defence and security partners seek to advance capabilities in five key areas: quantum technologies; autonomous systems; counter-uncrewed aerial systems (CUAS); Arctic mobility and navigation of military platforms; and energy solutions that are scalable, efficient, and sustainable for current and future Arctic operations. The initiative targets critical science and technology gaps in threat detection, situational awareness, decision support, and operational effectiveness to strengthen continental defence and support NORAD modernization.

Sensor integration on a Canadian coast guard vessel to assist in characterization of the ice environment
964449
The collaborative research Project develops a scientific research methodology to deploy sensors aboard an ice-going ship (Canadian Coast Guard Icebreaker CCGS Henry Larsen) in order to measure ice severity. Ice severity is related to a number of physical properties of ice, including: ice strength, ice thickness, ice age, ice coverage, ice piece size, pressure within the ice pack, etc. There is a significant body of scientific knowledge related to measuring certain ice properties from a ship but there are significant gaps in this knowledge. One of the main research gaps is that previous research has focused on measuring a specific ice property. However, no methods currently exist in the scientific literature for a holistic measurement of ice severity. The collaborative research Project addresses the research gap by using advanced scientific sensors to measure the impact of ice severity on a sea vessel traveling in Canadian icy waters.
