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.

A Total Software Solution to 3D Printing Manufacturing: Demo to Minimal Viable Product

Agreement Number:

954249

Duration: from Aug 1, 2020 to Dec 31, 2021
Description:

There are many industries that have already adopted 3D printing technologies, and others that are starting to follow suit. 3D printing is ideal for prototyping, small to medium scale production and specialized/customized part manufacturing. A barrier we have seen in healthcare is not the cost of 3D printers, but the lack of user-knowledge. Organizations are keen to incorporate 3D printing but lack the expertise of how to do so. Our proposed solution (PolySystem) is offered through a Software as a Service model, being composed of a library of digital 3D printable products (PolyBase), and a QMS/resource management system (Oversight).
