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.

Integration of eco-friendly habitats into coastal structures
984555
This project, a comprehensive research program, aims to develop specific knowledge concerning the hydraulic performance, durability and resilience of several eco-friendly habitats and structure combinations under challenging Canadian climactic conditions. This research program will involve an extensive experimental and numerical modeling program and is directly aligned with the Coastal Resilience technology theme of NRC's Ocean program which aims to develop new knowledge, tools and solutions to improve flood and erosion risk reduction capabilities and increase the climate resilience of waterfront communities, industries and governments across Canada.

Polarisation-resolved single photon sensors using quantum circuits in 2D materials
984639
The Project will support the development of polarisation resolved single photon sensors over a broad range of photon energies (THz - telecom - visible) using photoexcitation of trions in gate defined quantum circuits in 2D quantum materials. Unique advantages of 2D quantum materials include bandgap tunability, photon polarisation to valley optical transitions, high quantum coherence and trion binding energy exceeding room temperature. The Project will support the development of quantum sensors in that quantum transport of a single electron from source to drain through a quantum dot (QD) proceeds at a specific value of back-gate voltage.

Quantum coherence probes of electronic dynamics
988018
The Project will include the development of novel quantum imaging technologies (both experimental and computational) to study fundamental aspects of coherent electron transfer dynamics in molecules. The Project will make use of a revolution in ultrafast laser technology – Ultrafast X-ray Photonics – combined with computational quantum dynamics to permit the direct observation and characterization of quantum electronic dynamics.

Using Artificial Intelligence for accurate and efficient modelling of complex nanophotonic devices
988483
Advanced nanophotonic design commonly relies on computationally expensive 3D simulations. This project directly addresses the use of AI to assist with the design of photonic components, both for “classical” devices where improvements in performance or size will be sought, as well as design of new devices such as optical phased arrays, which rely on grating couplers as fundamental blocks.

Designing Software and Coronagraph Hardware for the CAL2.0 Upgrade
988578
Specifically, UCSC will: (1) develop simulations to inform CAL2.0 project hardware design, (2) design and deliver custom coronagraphic mask hardware to HAA to be deployed into GPI/CAL2.0, (3) design real-time adaptive optics software. The overall goal of the CAL2.0 project is to enhance the GPI instrument’s sensitivity such that it will directly detect fainter extrasolar planets than was previously possible.

Youth Employment in the Conservation and Enjoyment of Nature and Culture
GC-1535
This project will support the employment of youth in locations across Canada, including youth facing barriers to employment, in the conservation and enjoyment of natural and cultural heritage.
