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.

Modelling Raman spatial imaging with deep learning
998414
This project proposes to develop the capability to simulate the vibrational properties of 100k atom size systems using deep neural networks (DNN) methods. Such simulations will advance the ability to directly compute what is currently measured with novel Raman techniques. In this project, theoretical and experimental groups will collaborate to bring simulation tools to the next level, where generated data can be directly compared to experimental Raman spectra of complex matter. This testing platform will consist of Raman imaging of defective graphene sheets, systems that cannot be addressed with standard numerical methods because of the size of the problem. The goal is to develop AI-assisted tools to understand better the type of defects that cause a certain Raman response. These tools will use density-functional theory (DFT) simulations as input to guarantee the accuracy and predictability of the approach. These tools will help in the analysis of 2D materials. One possible use of 2D materials is in gas detection and having a better understanding of Raman signals on these surfaces before and after being exposed to certain gases will provide a guide on which materials have the better potential for this type of application.

ALEX Cluster-Scaling and Distributed Learning Expansion
1036826
The project will develop ALEX into Docker-based microservices deployed across Kubernetes clusters to enable large-scale digital-twin simulations and reinforcement learning. A key challenge is supporting asynchronous learning across multiple parallel environments, requiring R&D in distributed stability, synchronization, and communication.
