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.

International Energy Agency-Ukraine Joint Work Programme
GC-130739S
NRCan's continued support for the International Energy Agency-Ukraine Joint Work Programme will advance Ukraine's energy resilience and integration with European systems. Funding enables technical analysis and capacity-building initiatives in support of advancing recovery, reconstruction, building a more decentralized power system, further integrating Ukraine's energy system with the European Union, and driving down carbon emissions. These efforts align with Canada's commitment to Ukraine's recovery and long-term energy security

Developing Solid-State Rydberg Quantum Sensors
1038683
Higher Rydberg states of atoms are an important quantum technology platform due to their giant absorption cross-sections and long lifetimes: they are exceptional in terms of their sensitivity to broadband electromagnetic fields. Rydberg quantum sensor implementations to date are based on gas phase alkali atoms, presenting a challenge for integration. A solid-state Rydberg quantum sensor would facilitate integration, compactness and low power consumption. Rydberg states in solids are termed excitons. Recently discovered high Rydberg excitons in semiconductors such as Copper (I) Oxide Cu2O offer a powerful route to all-solid-state quantum sensing technologies. Challenges which must be addressed include impurities, defects and temperature effects. Through an advisory collaboration with the Helmholtz Joint Laboratory in Ottawa and the Canadian industrial partner Quantum Valley Ideas Labs (QVIL) in Waterloo, the Project will develop a globally unique platform, based on time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy, to directly characterize high Rydberg excitons in semiconductors, paving the way to a new generation of solid-state quantum sensor devices.
