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.

Optically gated artificial synapses for printable electronics
945642
To emulate neural networks, it is essential to reproduce the functions of biological synapses in physical devices that could be fabricated on a larger scale. artificial synapses will be developed using printable materials made of carbon nanotubes and photoactive dyes. The synapses will consist of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as the active channel material and a layer sensitive to light to impart synaptic weight control and potentiation / depression ability through optical and electrical gating. This structure is called an optically-gated carbon nanotube network field-effect transistor (OG-CNN-FET). The main task will be to develop the photoactive materials that will be incorporated into OG-CNN-FETs and thus to create a library of various photoactive materials inks. The optical properties of the SWCNT-photoactive materials system will be tested to optimizie the synapses and to better understand their physical interaction.
