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.

Advanced wavefront sensing through machine learning

Agreement Number:

989277

Duration: from May 1, 2022 to May 31, 2025
Description:

When light beams travel through the atmosphere, they are deformed because of variations in temperature, humidity and wind conditions. This makes reconstruction of the signal carried by the light beam very challenging. Wavefront sensing approaches allows one to measure such deformations so that they can corrected. However, doing so efficiently is extremely challenging. The Project aims to develop a better understanding of the fundamental limits of wavefront sensing and to apply advanced ML/AI techniques to optimize the sensing approach. This work will further the development of broadband wavefront sensing systems targeted at space-to?ground optical communications.
