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.

QuSera Readiness and Field Deployment for Commercialization

Agreement Number:

1031825

Duration: from Jul 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026
Description:

Firm's solution, QuSera, is a quantum encryption system that secures data on existing networks from quantum-enabled threats. QuSera implements Firm's patent-pending quantum communication technology, QuEDGE. QuEDGE enables the distribution and utilization of quantum entanglement resources for secure network connectivity in dynamic operational environments and can be applied to classical and quantum networks, enabling the linking of quantum devices. The purpose of this project is to complete the remaining research and development steps necessary for field deployment of QuSera in a pilot project with a US-based customer and approach a production-ready commercial version.

Novel Supplementary Cementitious Materials from Steel Slag

Agreement Number:

1031905

Duration: from Jul 1, 2025 to Jan 27, 2026
Description:

Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), a byproduct of iron production, has seen wide adoption by the concrete industry. On the other hand, Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) slag, another abundantly available byproduct of steel production, has seen practically no use as Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM).

Inkas and U of T undertook the development of the technology of converting BOF slag into reactive SCM using mechanical calcination (MC).

The positive results of the initial experiments suggested use of such method for processing BOF steel slag and proposed solution to a pressing problem of metallurgical waste utilization by converting it into reactive SCM that can be further used in concrete production.
