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.

Agreement:

UKRI Quantum - 10074653 - Quantum Benchmarking - Benchmarking networking interconnect for distributed quantum computers

Agreement Number:

1014273

Duration: from Oct 1, 2023 to Sep 1, 2025
Description:

Current quantum hardware architectures are monolithic, and limited by the number of qubits. One potential way to scale (increase the number of qubits) is by distributing the quantum algorithm (circuit) on multiple nodes via networking the nodes together by optical interconnects. softwareQ is building a distributed quantum compiler and scheduler for optical-based quantum computers comprising of multiple nodes linked by optical interconnects. softwareQ is modelling and benchmarking such a system with high fidelity, for scheduling and compiling distributed quantum circuits, thus paving the way towards scalable quantum computation.

Optimizing Data Outputs from the SIMBA GI Health Platform

Agreement Number:

1014673

Duration: from Oct 1, 2023 to Dec 31, 2025
Description:

Nimble Science has developed and launched a first-in-kind sampling platform to collect novel datasets from the small intestinal microbiome. Nimble's SIMBA GI Health Platform provides easy at-home access to novel multi-omics data directly from the small intestine. The platform is leveraged by our innovative Small Intestinal Microbiome Aspiration Capsule, SIMBA, which collects a fluid biopsy targeted to the deepest and most out-of-reach regions of the gut and clinically validated to be comparable to endoscopy. Actionable intelligence is then powered by the Nimble SIMO database, which enables the correlation of spatial and temporal aspects against a broad cohort of small intestinal data to identify novel diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers.

Youth - Developing and Executing a Customized Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Program to Facilitate the Production and Scaling Up of a New Gummy Manufacturing Facility

Agreement Number:

1009671

Duration: from Oct 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024
Description:

The objective of this 6-month project is to enhance operations and drive innovation. By developing a Material
Requirements Planning (MRP) program, this project seeks to optimize production processes, minimize waste, and
maximize operational efficiency. During this period, the project lead will work collaboratively to design and tailor the MRP
system, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the plant's unique requirements and leads to streamlined production
workflows.
