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.

Teleoperated Haptic MR Robot for Meat Processing Applications

Agreement Number:

ISC-MPAC-007574

Duration: from Jan 1, 2022 to Jun 30, 2022
Description:

The objective of this project aims to develop an optionally-tele operated haptic magnetorheological (MR) robotic arm system, that, in combination with AI learning, could enable a multitude of tasks that are notoriously difficult to automate, such as deboning of red meat due to the natural complexity and sizing variation of red meat animals. The overall goal of this project is to provide an economical solution that can be either bought or rented by any size facility.
