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.

Atom-defined quantum devices
987923
The ability to precisely place single atoms on a silicon surface to attain exacting engineered properties allows for new and improved standards and sensors. At the University of Alberta and the NRC Nanotechnology Research Centre the Project team have developed atom crafting techniques that are world leading. While other approaches allow only cryogenically stabilized structures to be made, the Project team makes robust, electrically useful devices that stand up to the practical requirements of real-world deployment. The Project will include the deployment of the previously developed techniques to produce testable, exactingly reproducible and practically useable quantum metrology devices. The Project team will make an electrical current standard and a standard thermometer. Both devices allow reference measurements to be made that are - always reliable, calibration-free measurements. These new, useful and marketable devices are extensions of the atom-defined single electron transistor (SET) technology. The SETs the Project team have previously developed are uniquely immune to stray charge effects that plague other SETs and moreover any number of identical SETs with practically no variance of properties can be made allowing for practical manufacture and deployment.

High-resolution hybrid quantum-enhanced imaging and readout
988017
Sensing and imaging are fundamental components in a range of modern technologies. Quantum sensing is based on the potential use of quantum phenomena, i.e., superposition and entanglement, to improve the sensitivity and detection range of sensing devices, e.g., detecting and tracking single biomolecules. Implementing these novel techniques requires preparation, manipulation, and measurement of quantum states of the physical system of interest, e.g., entangled photons. As an example, detecting and tracking single biomolecules is a field that can be revolutionized by employing quantum sensing technologies. Biochemical and biological sensors are just a fraction of areas that can be benefited from the advent of robust quantum sensing methods. The two primary and well-advanced quantum sensing approaches are quantum illumination (target detection) and quantum imaging (including ghost-imaging). Both techniques exploit entangled photons to boost object detection efficiency or imaging resolution in noisy environments. Employing quantum entanglement is a promising approach to overcome fundamental limits of classical imaging, mainly the Rayleigh diffraction limit, and reach precision below the shot-noise limit.
