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.

Fast spectroscopic signatures accelerated by deep learning
948094
FTIR and Raman are common spectroscopic tools used in materials synthesis and characterization. Deep neural networks will be used to develop an efficient and accurate methodology for simulating accurate spectroscopic signatures at significantly lowered computation cost than currently possible. This study will focus on 2D materials, beginning with graphene. AI will be used to:
1. Produce approximate (yet accurate) spectra from atomic structures using supervised learning on a large dataset of first principles-based calculations. The deep neural network will interpolate those spectra at a fraction of the original cost of generating them. The target is to develop an AI model which allows simulation of spectra from much larger (and therefore complex) structures than currently possible.
2. Searching the space of possible structures to find a simulated spectra which best matches experimental signal. Genetic algorithms will be explored, where the objective function will be to minimize the KL divergence between the spectra produced by the neural network and the experimental signal.
