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.

MNC Collab - IPSACCI - Development of In- Process Seal Assurance Solution for Pharmaceutical Container Closure Integrity
1025388
As part of Multinational Corporate Collaboration Program, the project IPSACCI will focus on developing a new technology called the Seal Assurance Platform that incorporates new container twin sensor hardware and software. The PoC has been tested with a Global Pharmaceutical Partner but there are several novel aspects that need to be researched, developed and trialed before the product can be validated and commercialized. Successfully completing this project will position SmartSkin’s solution to be eligible for use in 95% of capper lines at multinational locations versus only 25% today. This is a multi-million dollar opportunity at our Global Pharma Partner and opens a new market opportunity valued at over $200M.
