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.

Disrupting Total Fluorine Analysis: A Compact Platform for Environmental and Pharmaceutical Applications
1034449
Fluorine is a key marker in environmental, pharmaceutical, semiconductor and food safety analysis, but current testing methods like CIC, LC-MS/MS, and F-NMR are slow, costly, and limited. Kimia Analytics is advancing a proprietary, high-sensitivity fluorine detection technology that augments existing mass spectrometry capabilities. This project bridges late-stage R&D and commercialization by refining the design, validating performance in real-world settings, and accelerating adoption through pilot testing—positioning Kimia as a global leader in scalable fluorine quantification for PFAS and pharmaceutical applications, while driving economic impact for Canada through innovation, exports, and skilled job creation.

A New Technology for Direct Analysis of Fluorinated Compounds in Environmental and Pharmaceutical Applications
1021774
This project proposes a completely new technology for analysis of fluorine and fluorinated compounds with high accuracy and reliability using the first-ever compact, hybrid ICP-MS. Fluorine plays a critical role in various industrial, medicinal, and everyday applications. But there are currently no universal methods for quantification of fluorinated compounds. Our technology creates an opportunity for the first time to investigate the possibility of analyzing fluorine with high sensitivity at concentrations relevant to pharmaceutical, environmental, agrochemical, and food testing. This technology turns Kimia to a worldwide leader and contributes to Canada's economy through the production, sale, and export of high-tech instruments.

A New Method for Eliminating Argon Ion Species in ICP-MS to Enable Interference-Free Sample Analysis
1015543
This project proposes a completely new method for total removal of argon interferences in ICP-MS which enables ultra-sensitive analysis of important elements based on their most abundant isotopes without the need for any complicated arrangements commonly used in conventional ICP-MS systems. This technology paves the road for a completely new compact ICP-MS technology that can offer rapid, ultra-sensitive, real-time elemental analysis for the first time with significant benefits to several sectors such as environmental, semiconductor, clinical, metals and mining, and geochemical. It will also lead to high paying technology jobs and contribute to Canada's economy through the production, sale, and export of high-tech instruments.
