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.

Accelerating scientific discovery with large language models
1015961
These empirical-driven methods, while valuable, are markedly time-intensive and laden with numerous unsuccessful attempts. The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) promised a new velocity in the discovery process.

Digital twins for intelligent decarbonization of the built environment to meet circular economy criteria.
1015968
Decarbonizing the built environment through extensive green renovation requires a carbon footprint of deconstruction/renovation activities, which includes the carbon footprint of materials and components and a holistic approach. High-precision live digital twin models (DTMs) could integrate data repositories and provide a platform for scenario analysis, but standards and maturity are lacking. This project defines a model-building and application strategy, analyzes the requirements for standardizing renovation DTs by creating a digital building product passport and urban-scale DTs through open MIBSIG integration, automating the processes for generating renovation alternatives and their evaluation, combined with life-cycle cost and life-cycle analyses, integrated into DTs, with methods for calculating deconstruction and recoverability scores for renovation deployed by DT standards.

Microstructure reconstruction for data augmentation and study of process-structure-property relationships with deep learning models.
1014106
The project aims to increase metallographic laboratory autonomy and facilitate the development and optimization of processes, such as high-pressure vacuum casting (HPVDC) of aluminum, cold spraying of aluminum (CSAM) and steel made by selective laser melting (SLM), by applying generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. The project will focus first on increasing efficiency by quickly and cost-effectively generating machine learning datasets with adjustable features, making it possible to generate aluminum and steel microstructures with variations in process parameters and sample preparation conditions.
