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.

Silicon-Based Quantum Microwave to Optical Photon Interface
1012099
The project will develop an on-chip, scalable, quantum microwave to optical (QM2O) interface enabling coherent conversion between single telecom and single microwave photons, with widespread applications in quantum technologies ranging from quantum networks of quantum computers (with computational power far exceeding individual quantum computers) to the design of new kinds of quantum sensors. The key predicted property of the QM2O is a near-100% efficiency of conversion at low pump power (<< 1mW), much higher than competing solid-state QM2O interfaces, whose efficiency is below the useful threshold (50%) for quantum applications despite requiring high (100 mW) pump powers. The key innovation is a giant three-wave mixing effect in doped silicon that is predicted when two optical photons and one microwave photon are nearly resonant with ensembles of spin-bearing defects with associated near-infrared optical resonances. The high efficiency and manufacturability could make quantum networks and quantum sensors commonplace in 5 years.

Eurostars: E!5305 FlavourGEM: Genome scale metabolic models to improve beer yeast flavour
1014538
As part of the international consortium project “E!5305 FlavourGEM: FlavourGEM: Genome scale metabolic models to improve beer yeast flavour”, this project will focus on leveraging genome-scale metabolic models to identify targets for enhancing flavour profiles in ten brewing yeast strains. Using computational algorithms and deep learning, the project will pinpoint metabolic pathways for improvement. Validation will be conducted via CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and non-GM laboratory evolution. The ultimate goal is to produce beer strains with improved flavour traits.
