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.

Optimal quantum control of solid-state quantum emitters in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides
986056
Solid-state quantum emitters (QEs), which have potential applications in quantum cryptography and distributed quantum networks, have very recently been discovered in direct band gap semiconductors formed from excitons in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) localized by strain. This project brings together world-renowned experts from NRC in the fabrication of site-selected solid-state QEs and the Dalhousie Ultrafast Quantum Control Group who has developed internationally-unique optimal quantum control strategies for such emitters with the goal to advance the promising new system of TMD QEs for applications in quantum technology.

Autonomous Fleet Ice Management via Reinforcement Learning
983412
The purpose of this project is to explore the idea of an autonomous fleet of vessels which increase the availability of a channel of interest by pushing ice out of the way. The project involves the hiring of one PhD student. A reinforcement learning strategy for the vessel control algorithm to capture the complex interactions with ice on water is proposed.

A Security Analytics Framework for Attack Detection and Prevention in Smart Aging Care Systems
983649
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.
