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.

AI Assist: ARP AI Pilot Project for Rating Open Responses in Casper
1028955
We propose a new approach to automated test scoring that combines recent advances in large language models (LLMs) with traditional clear-box ML approaches. We will use an LLM-as-a-judge framework in association with a rubric of scoring elements (developed in consultation with subject matter experts) to classify responses on the basis of these scoring elements. The LLM will also provide its reasoning for these decisions. We will then construct clear-box ML models that combine these scoring elements extracted from the responses into a single numeric score.

Rapid-prototyping and high-volume manufacturing of metasurfaces and metalenses
1029047
Metasurfaces, with their compact size and broadband performance, are poised to revolutionize optics industries, however, the lack of accessible fabrication services hinders their widespread adoption. We plan to bridge this gap by adding a dedicated metasurfaces option to our NanoSOI™ foundry, which is utilized by leading companies in quantum computing (QC), artificial intelligence (AI), LIDAR, and sensing.

Since there have been no significant changes in our manufacturing processes or raw materials, we hypothesize that the issue stems from secondary reactions occurring when the product interacts with specific soils or materials under particular environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity.

Seismic Data Resolution Enhancement using AI
1030514
This phase builds on our earlier success in AI-based bandwidth improvement by shifting focus to real-world application and commercialization. We will rigorously test and validate our AI algorithms using large-scale, real 2D and 3D seismic datasets from diverse geological environments, ensuring robustness, scalability, and generalizability.

We are building a full suite of tools for lawyers to make the process from research to writing 10x faster. The way we are going to do this is by building our TOA builder first, which solves an immediate and compelling problem for lawyers. Once we build confidence that we can execute in this way, we will be able to sell our research memo builder and drafting board to our larger clients.
