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.

Commercializing Precise Indoor Positioning To Optimize Human and Robotic Physical Hyperautomation
1019597
4D1 prototype technology proves mm-level accurate 3D positioning in real time. This project aims to develop a Commercially Viable Product (CVP) by creating a purpose-built microprocessor-based version that will optimize form factor, power consumption, performance, supportability and cost. The project also includes commercializing the infrastructure (beacons) hardware required to for indoor positioning and the software support tools to set the system up.

Sub-cm 3D Real-Time Location System Prototype For Smart Factories, Logistics, Underground Mining and Digital Construction
1000309
The project focus is to convert the prototype Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) proof of concept, which is limited to the audible range (up to 20 kHz) into a engineered rapid prototype operating in the ultrasonic frequency range. Two units require engineering - beacons installed in known locations that transmit the ultrasonic signal, and trackers that receive beacon ultrasonic signals to compute position of a tagged asset.
