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.

On-chip integrated photonic circuits based on 2D materials
1003003
The development of photonic integrated circuits promises breakthroughs in next-generation quantum communication and information technology. The project seeks to explore 2D materials as an optically active solid-state platform for photonic integrated circuits. Specifically, the project will explore quantum emitters (QE), a key component of emerging quantum technologies such as photonic quantum communication as well as their integration in on-chip photonic circuits. The quantum emitters will be created in electrostatic traps engineered in twisted 2D semiconductors by moiré patterns. The quantum emitters performance will be characterized using photoluminescence spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy. The project will have theoretical support in modelling QE.

Segmented unknown phase estimation return for photonic adaptive optics wavefront error reconstruction
1003379
SUPER PAOWER involves the design, fabrication, characterization, packaging, and operation of an integrated photonic chip that senses and corrects optical wavefronts distorted by atmospheric turbulence on a single chip. The project will improve the design of the phase corrector chips developed for the PAOWER project by including a phase measurement circuit, allowing for a fully integrated solution. Together with beam preparation optics, a microlens array, and an electronic controller, a fully integrated photonic adaptive optics system for a ~0.5 m class telescope is realized. In a satellite to ground link, it would boost the coupling efficiency of laser beams into single-mode fibers.

Natural Habitat Restoration on Lands Adjacent to Point Pelee National Park
GC-2046
This grant supports efforts by the Essex Region Conservation Authority to restore former agricultural lands to natural habitat. The specific location of these lands, adjacent to Point Pelee National Park, ensures that the restoration will improve the park’s ecological health and support the recovery of 8 species at risk.
