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.

A Security Analytics Framework for Attack Detection and Prevention in Smart Aging Care Systems
983649
Smart home-based aging care systems are reshaping the health services by introducing proactive monitoring, improving quality of life, and facilitating efficient management of health resources. However, these advances inevitably emphasize growing threats to the security and privacy of sensitive personal and health information. This project will develop a comprehensive security analytics framework entailing multi-level countermeasures (i.e., software systems) for attack detection and prevention in smart aging care systems. The framework will include advanced vulnerability assessment, machine learning, and monitoring techniques that will consider the behavior of not only connected electronic devices and applications but also user activities and usage patterns to detect and prevent common and unknown threats. The developed cutting-edge and comprehensive solutions will improve the security and privacy of smart home-based aging care systems.

TAGDit the Living Library
984018
Development of TAGDit Data-as-a-Service Cloud software product designed for the coming age of user-owned data. The software enables users to aggregate data in their own secure private living data library located in virtual spaces called “data rooms” on the TAGDit webpage, market it and sell it in their own data storefront. It comes with advanced search features to search the data, which could be text,audio, video, multimedia, IoT data or executable files. A custom web search tool that is weighted with your own saved search history return more contextually meaningful results. Other types of search filters are also possible such as text, image, and other filters.

Telecom photonic resources for quantum sensing
984643
The quality of quantum photonic technologies, ranging from communication to computation to sensing, depends on the generation of high-quality quantum states photonic states: either single or entangled photons. The Project addresses this challenge, developing on-demand sources of indistinguishable single photons and entangled photon pairs, on-chip and at telecommunication wavelengths. These sources require the integration and electronic-gating of self-assembled quantum dots, whose sizes and material composition have been carefully engineered to provide telecom photons, with on-chip nanoscale systems, designed to control and optimize quantum light-matter interactions. Together, this combination will for the first time, provide high-quality quantum photonic states on chip that can leverage the full power of the telecommunication industry, providing a powerful new platform for the development of quantum sensing technologies.
