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.

Quantum-enhanced broadband mid-IR spectroscopy
1034968
The Project combines leading Canadian expertise in ultra-broadband mid-IR quantum light generation (Polytechnique Montreal, PolyM) and applies it to the critical mission of nanomaterial characterization and classification at the NRC, focusing on nanomaterials used in health applications. The project will develop bright squeezed entangled light sources in the SWIR and MIR for use in chemical sensing applications. The enhanced sensitivity achievable using these sources will be validated against current IR spectroscopy techniques.

Metallurgical Evaluation and Recovery Testing of Critical Minerals
1036853
Barite Mud Services Inc. (BMSI) is a Newfoundland and Labrador–based small and medium-sized enterprise advancing a clean-technology approach to reprocess historic tailings from the former Buchans Cu-Pb-Zn operation. The project seeks to characterize and improve recovery pathways for barite and potential critical minerals contained in legacy tailings, transforming an environmental liability into economic and ecological value consistent with Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy and net-zero objectives. Building on prior work that advanced elements of the operation toward higher technology readiness, the current effort addresses remaining technical gaps—particularly in grinding, flotation, and leaching—needed to support a future pilot-scale dem
