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.

The multivariate (MV) system to reduce crop stress: New technologies to address new markets
1029519
Hortau has pioneered the Internet of Things in agriculture by developing a new approach to irrigation management since 2008. Hortau is currently marketing the first predictive model for global crop production control to increase yields and productivity while reducing inputs such as water, fertilizers and energy that result in reductions in GHGs and diffuse nitrogen pollution. This new technology, known as the Multivariate system, redefines needs, diagnostic methods and the approach to agronomic interventions using fully computerized technology based on real-time and continuous measurements. As part of the project, the Multivariate system will be enhanced with new technologies in order to develop new markets and territories and thus multiply the environmental benefits associated with its use by farmers.

NSERC’s Experience Awards (previously Industrial Undergraduate Student Research Awards [IUSRA]) offer organizations access to talented natural sciences and engineering undergraduate students for a work term. This cost-shared program allows students to address organization-specific R&D challenges while gaining valuable industrial experience. Experience Awards also let organizations identify potential future full-time employees.
