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.

A Novel Materials and Additive Manufacturing Platform: Responsive Polymers for Smart Surfaces and Soft Robotics
967263
Previously, NRC and UofT explored the use of shape-morphing material and developed a smart surface motivated by a need for flow
control in an aircraft application. This project will explore the possibility of 4D printing implementation of the smart materials in
application of smart and responsive surfaces including aircraft wings, UAVs, and extending to large-scale actuation for soft robotics
systems.

A novel materials and additive manufacturing platform: responsive polymers for smart surfaces and soft robotics
967263
This NRC-UofT collaboration targets a 4D printing approach, combining 3D printing with shape-responsive polymers, to smart surfaces and soft robotics. Tailoring composition of 3D printable polymers, in particular using nanomaterial fillers, and optimizing structure design and materials compatibility in multimaterial prints, will lead to polymer actuator and morphing surface demonstrations.

Approaches to mitigation of atmospheric fluctuations for free-space optical channels
969444
In particular, a high degree of phase recovery is required in order to fully benefit from a large collection area while also enabling optical focusing to a diffraction-limited spot as required for high bandwidth coherent optical processing. In the Project, new optical detection systems and signal processing approaches suitable for high bandwidth satellite-based optical communications will be developed.

Fabrication techniques of 2D material devices
969539
The Project will explore how to optimize surfaces, interfaces and devices made from two dimensional (2D) semiconductors such as Molybdenum disulfide( MoS2), molybdenum-diselenide (MoSe2), tungsten disulfide (WS2), tungsten diselenide (WSe2) as well as graphene and boron nitride.

AI-enabled radiography diagnostics
969581
The Project will enable improved training of deep neural networks, build models for AI-enabled COVID-19 diagnosis and risk stratification through applying few-shot learning methods, and address current limitations of the low quantity of annotated COVID-19 positive data. The Project will accelerate the development of an open-source, open-access diagnostic platform.
