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.

Topological photonics for quantum sensing applications
988507
In optics, there have been a diversity of intriguing effects based on exceptional points, e.g. loss induced transparency, lasing, and unidirectional reflection. When adiabatically changing the parameters of a system around an exceptional point in parametric space, the initial eigenstate will transfer to another while gaining a geometric phase. Recently, Berini’s group demonstrated mode transfer by dynamically encircling exceptional points in coupled dielectric waveguides at optical telecommunication wavelengths and have shown that encircling a moving exceptional point provides a new scheme to optimize performance, diminish length and insertion loss, while maintaining the topological properties of the operation. These concepts will be further explored in silicon photonics implementations, in particular subwavelength metamaterial waveguides as pioneered by the NRC silicon photonics group, as well as in metasurfaces and nanoplasmonic systems. The technology developed in the collaborative research project would constitute a substantial advance in the field and contribute to making Canada a global leader in emerging quantum photonics sensor technologies.

Quantum mining: coherent quantum imaging tools for process mineralogy analytics
988538
To better understand where the advantages of quantum enhanced nonlinear optical microscopy will be of benefit to Canada, the University of Ottawa will work with the NRC-EME team to identify resource streams where improved rapid sample characterization would have the largest benefit. By targeting timely and consequential problems in mining, the Project will lead to the development of new tools for more efficient mining operations with reduced waste and improved yields in Canada
