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.

Technology computer-aided design of quantum sensors based on quantum dots

Gated quantum dots in III-V semiconductors provide a promising platform for the coherent transfer of quantum information between spins and photons, enabling polarization-sensitive sensing of single photons and thus leading to
disruptive applications in quantum sensing, quantum communication, and distributed quantum computing. However, the design of quantum sensors based on quantum dots is complicated by the lack of appropriate simulation
software capable to predict device performance and analyze experimental results. In the Project, Nanoacademic Technologies Inc. will expand its existing quantum-dot simulation software (QTCAD) to include features
needed for the design of quantum sensors based on quantum dots and collaborate with NRC to benchmark the software against existing experimental results. Once the necessary new features are validated, Nanoacademic will use QTCAD to predict the performance of various quantum-sensing devices developed at NRC and help optimize their basic figures of merit for future experiments.
