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.

Investigation of Repeated Fed-batch (semi-continuous) Fermentation for Increased Yield and Product Quality for Commercial Production of Protein Rich Algal Biomass
1010353
Smallfood’s current method of fermentation is fed-batch, where feeding for 10h with substrate and supplements extends the duration of culture and achieves higher cell density, 55 g/L biomass. Due to high oxygen requirement of the protein production process, further increase in biomass yield has been a challenge using fed-batch process. To achieve higher biomass yields without oxygen depletion, repeated fed-batch where harvesting 50% or more of a completed (fed) batch and leaving the remaining cells available is to use as an inoculum for cycles will increase the biomass yield. Therefore, the current project is designed to develop a repeated fed-batch fermentation process for Smallfood’s proprietary strain.
