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.

Exploring the use of modular ocean research infrastructure (MORI) to support phytoplankton research
991562
MEOPAR will demonstrate and test the potential of Modular Ocean Research Infrastructure (MORI) for the support of multidisciplinary ocean science. The project Tracer Release Experiment (TReX) in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, jointly supported by the Réseau Québec Maritime and the MEOPAR network will be used as a demonstration cruise to explore the potential of MORI for multidisciplinary ocean research. For the upcoming 2022 seasons, two separate cruises in the Gulf of St. Lawrence are being planned as part of TReX to search for and measure the distribution of a tracer that was deliberately introduced into the Gulf of St. Lawrence to study dissolved oxygen supply to subsurface waters in October 2021. Among the expected outcomes are to evaluate MORI as a future model for collaboration across federal departments, academics, and industry, and extend NRC’s interactions with key researchers and organizations who share common interests.

Advanced processing for quantum detector arrays
991612
The Project will support the development of techniques and algorithms for low-light imaging and detection using novel time-bin interferometers and analyzers, which is usually used for quantum communications. The project team will apply these ideas to a system that includes imaging interferometers equipped with photon detection arrays, which overcome the issues for free-space photons exposed to scattering or turbulent media, while retrieving the phase and intensity information of each photon to recover their pattern with high visibility. Every photon arrival on every pixel can be individually logged with ~100 picosecond precision, and several 100 million photons per second can be detected across the array. These features will be exploited to develop a novel algorithm for analysis of the very faint (and noisy) images expected for a single-photon imaging device. Finally, the project will demonstrate phase encoding to enhance of contrast for distant objects, and study how to characterize their shape and motion.

Match making: empowering older adults to age in place through matching automated medication adherence technology to ability
992339
This project aims to develop and validate an evidence-informed decision-making guide. This guide will enable older adults (≥ aged 65 years), care-partners and clinicians select the most appropriate medication adherence technology to address physical, cognitive, perception, motivational and environmental barriers to medication taking. To achieve this goal, the project incorporates multiple studies to identify tools by which to measure different barriers to medication taking, develop a classification system for medication adherence technology, examine user experience of a variety of medication adherence technologies with older adults who have various limitations in medication taking, and assess in?home use and acceptance of medication adherence technology, medication adherence, and impact on care-partner burden.
