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.

QuanTEM: Quantum Enhanced Sensing in Transmission Electron Microscopy
1028261
Ultimately, a quantum-enhanced cryo-TEM of biomolecules is needed for targeted therapeutic drug design, revealing underlying protein-protein and protein-RNA/DNA interactions.
The Project, Quantum Enhanced Sensing in Transmission Electron Microscopy, or QuanTEM (Phase I), will develop the knowledge and instrumentation needed for realizing an ultrafast QTEM. This collaboration will place UA and NRC at the forefront of the nascent and rapidly growing field of QTEM.
The Project builds on and qualitatively expands our internationally recognized work in terahertz (THz) ultrafast transmission electron microscopy (THz-UTEM) and in diamond nanophotonics (DN), both supported by the NRC-UA NanoInitiative program, as well as CFI, NSERC, and Alberta Innovates. The intended outcome of QuanTEM (Phase I) is the development of methods and devices needed to generate, manipulate, and detect single-electron pulses. In parallel, the Project Team will investigate the effects of inelastic electron scattering on QTEM.
In the longer term, the Project Team envision QuanTEM (Phase II) that will expand the project further to demonstrate a sub-Poissonian single-electron source and entanglement of electrons with photons.
