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.

Not-for-profit organization or charity

Description:

SPF’s objective will be achieved by functioning as an innovative, partnership-driven complement to the Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Strategy (ISETS) that fosters more integrated, harmonized, training-to-employment models or acts as a catalyst for the formation and testing of innovative new partnerships in Indigenous labour market development. SPF activities will emphasize joint stewardship and coordination consistent with the Aboriginal Economic Development Framework. Through access to SPF funding, a wider range of Indigenous organizations will deliver Indigenous labour market programming, serving to embed collaboration and maximize leveraging opportunities with industry, federal-provincial-territorial partners, and Indigenous partners

InspireSAT Constellations On-Demand: Direct Commercialization through 12U ADCS MVP

Agreement Number:

22SIMA01P1

Duration: from Feb 1, 2023 to Jun 1, 2023
Description:

The recent reduction in launch costs has opened up potential for cost-efficient, high-performance, rapidly-deployable low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations. StarSpec Technologies specializes in high-precision high-accuracy Attitude Determination and Control Systems which are critical to the advancement of scientific, commercial, and military applications in space. StarSpec is directly addressing burgeoning demands in this sector through its InspireSAT Constellations On-Demand Initiative. This technology and related industrial capabilities will enable rapidly-deployable, high-precision and high-accuracy 12U to SmallSat class constellations uniquely suitable for next-generation sustainable applications in high-resolution Earth-imaging/Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR), Space Situational Awareness (SSA)/ Space Domain Awareness (SDA), military surveillance, and research.
This project will enable rapid commercial access to LEO while fostering growth through training of a critical mass of highly qualified personnel (HQP), thereby increasing Canadian space technologies prevalence and market share. StarSpec has received significant interest in this technology from Universities to collaborate on their projects, and is continuing to gain solid traction from the commercial sector.

Machine learning based beamforming algorithms for satellite communications

Agreement Number:

22STDPR22

Duration: from Feb 1, 2023 to Jun 30, 2024
Description:

The project involves the exploration, prototyping, and testing of machine learning (ML) beamforming techniques. A testbed will be built to train and test models for inferring Angle of Arrival (AoA) and Angle of Departure (AoD) on a phased array antenna system. The models will be trained with design requirements applicable to a satellite and ground equipment context. The system will demonstrate a method where automatic, independent, and passive system self-configuration for optimal operation between satellite and ground equipment. The resulting technology could establish robust, secure, and high throughput access in previously inaccessible areas.

Impact of orbital radiation on next-generation high-performance semiconductor nanowire single-photon detectors

Agreement Number:

22STDPT08

Duration: from Feb 1, 2023 to Feb 1, 2026
Description:

Quantum technology has the potential to revolutionize the modern world and provide numerous opportunities to enhance space applications. Quantum key distribution can be used to distribute highly secure encryption keys in a manner such that any attempt at eavesdropping would be detected. Quantum sensing could be used to obtain 3D images of spacecrafts and objects of interest kilometers away with millimeter precision, enabling precise surface damage assessment for spacecraft and detection of small orbital debris. Both of these quantum technology applications have one crucial device in common: ultra-sensitive single-photon detectors. Single Quantum Systems is developing a revolutionary single-photon detector based on a unique semiconductor nanostructure design which has the potential to become one of the best single-photon detector ever created. This project will assess the potential benefit of our detector for space applications by evaluating the impact of radiation exposure to determine its performance in the harsh environment of space.
