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.

Strategic Graphene Process Development and Optimization
994945
Universal Matter Inc. is implementing an 18-month project that is aimed at creating a world-class Global Innovation Centre for its proprietary Flash Joule Heating process technology, which transforms carbon-containing waste into high value graphene materials. This IRAP project will focus on process and product development for field validation trials of the company’s unique turbostratic graphene in several strategic market applications (cement/concrete, bitumen asphalt/concrete, and plastics composites). Successful completion of this project will create significant new employment opportunities in Ontario for skilled talent in advanced materials and it will establish the new Burlington research facility as its global innovation centre.

Polarization control components for quantum photonic chips
996021
This project will develop the integrated components for polarization splitting and rotation required by the quantum photonic circuits of the Small Teams Ideation fund project “Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits for Quantum Interconnects”. To achieve the required performance, we will exploit machine learning techniques to develop a flexible design methodology for the optimization of device geometries with a large number of design parameters and incorporating subwavelength metamaterials. This will make it possible to optimize designs with multiple figures of merit and provide efficient multi-wavelength design capabilities.

Automatic Nailing Solution
995434
Develop an automatic nailing solution for use in automated equipment for modular construction. The objective of this project is to address the gaps in the solutions that are currently available on the market. These include:
- nailer reliability (uptime) is not adequate to support automated systems
- standard nailers are large and awkwardly shaped limiting access to many common nailing scenarios
- feeding systems are nonexistent so available run time is inhibited by the requirement to re-load nails
The goal of this project is to develop a nailing solution that will be marketed, sold, and supported like a product.

Development of a Multi-Organ Positron Emission Tomography System
996437
Radialis has developed a clinically-validated prototype of a breast PET imaging system that recently received FDA clearance. Market adoption requires that the system be able to image additional body areas, in particular the brain and chest to increase the clinical applications for the system. This project encompasses the advancements in the system that are necessary for full multi-organ imaging.
