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.

Adapting SOGI 1 2 3 to Equip Educators Across Canada with Tools for SOGI-inclusive Education
SO21937
This 25-month project will adapt, pilot, and evaluate tools and models to expand the capacity of K-12 educators to create Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI)-inclusive schools for all students. ARC Foundation will achieve this by building and strengthening SOGI educator networks, carrying out two environmental scans, designing and piloting models to deliver SOGI 1 2 3 in French and in an educational environment with varying funding and support contexts, creating, and adapting digital tools and assets to support educators, and evaluating the impact of the project.
At the end of the project, the organization will have enhanced equality for LGBTQ2 people by equipping educators, school staff and community partners with critical knowledge, tools and supports, and by challenging norms, attitudes, and behaviours in schools to ensure school is a welcoming, SOGI - inclusive and positive space for all children and youth. Project success will allow for wider implementation of SOGI 1 2 3 in collaboration with education partners in the educational jurisdictions involved.

Adapting SOGI 1 2 3 to Equip Educators Across Canada With Tools for SOGI-Inclusive Education
SO21937
This 25-month project will adapt, pilot, and evaluate tools and models to expand the capacity of K–12 educators to create schools inclusive of sexual orientations and gender identities (SOGI) for all students. The ARC Foundation will achieve this by building and strengthening SOGI educator networks and carrying out two environmental scans. It will also design and pilot models to deliver the SOGI 1 2 3 program in French and in educational environments with varying funding and support contexts, create and adapt digital tools and assets to support educators, and evaluate the impact of the project.
By the end of the project, the organization will have enhanced equality for LGBTQ2 people by equipping educators, school staff, and community partners with critical knowledge, tools, and supports. It will also have achieved this goal by challenging norms, attitudes, and behaviours in schools to ensure school is a welcoming, SOGI-inclusive, and positive space for all children and youth. The project's success will allow for the wider implementation of SOGI 1 2 3 in collaboration with education partners in the educational jurisdictions involved.
The supplemental funding received in July 2023 will be utilized to expand the piloting of the different Business Models into two additional regions. The additional support funding will allow piloting in three regions in total, with at least one region being government supported, and at least one being non-government supported to pilot both Business Models.

Generative models for integrated photonic components – design and implementation of a new generator-discriminator approach
987397
This Project will focus on adapting a general learning framework to improvements related to nanophotonic component design. Novel optimization techniques such as inverse design are promising tools to significantly reduce the size of nanophotonic components while maintaining their functionality and performance. Although published results demonstrate various proof of concept miniaturized devices with pre-determined size and aspect ratio, their performances as of now are inferior to the state of the art classical devices which are however much larger, with designs that are highly non-interpretable. In this respect, recent developments in learning generative models through the use of generative-adversarial architecture is a promising technological breakthrough. Specifically, this type of training provides a framework to build neural-network based models capable of generating a diverse set of useful data instances in high-dimensional spaces, which are well-performing designs in this context
