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.

Virtual Ice Management Operation on the Cloud - Phase-2
981912
Marine operations in ice-infested areas are subject to the appropriate ice management protocol to reduce downtime and infrastructure risk to offshore assets, and to protect this relatively pristine area from any environmental disaster. This makes ice management operations a socio-technical challenge that demands expert knowledge from various fields. The uncertainties in ice management operations impact decision making in physical ice management. A physics-based computer simulation of the various ice management operations will minimize operational risk, enhance safety of the crews, and reduce carbon emissions by evaluating operational efficiency.

Physical Model Experimentation to Validate “SAMICE”: A Smooth Particle and Multi-physics Numerical Simulation Tool for Ice Engineering Problems.
920152
The available numerical simulation tools for ice engineering do not or cannot model the hydrodynamic behavior of ice-structure interactions accurately.The simulation tool "SAMICE" overcomes this limitation and simulates realistic behavior of ice-structure interactions cost-effectively by harnessing the power of GPU computing. This proposed physical model experiment will help to validate the numerical model.
