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.

Northern Expertise in Hydrogeology
1025635
Building upon the current NRC-funded “Groundwater vulnerability to metal(loid) contamination in Whitehorse, Yukon” project, it is proposed to strengthen northern expertise in hydrogeology and to increase the capacity of Yukon University faculty and prepare a northern-led research project proposal in which northern scientists play leading roles. To develop the project proposal, engagement with stakeholders, including First Nations partners and private well owners, is required to recognize and discuss key water resource-related issues faced by Northerners, including aspects of physical and chemical hydrogeology beyond the scope of the original project, and to guide next steps for future research.

Development of an advanced algorithm for the integral equation theory of liquids based on quantum computer
1025683
The Project uses quantum computing to solve a complex problem in molecular solvation theory, which is a fundamental concept in various scientific disciplines. Solvation influences chemical reactions, biomolecular interactions, and material stability. The Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation is a cornerstone of solvation theory, which helps us understand the spatial distribution of solvent molecules around a solute. The OZ equation is similar to the quantum-mechanical many-body Dyson equation, which bridges classical and quantum approaches in the study of solvation. By using quantum algorithms to solve the OZ equation, the team can improve the accuracy and speed of solvation predictions. This connection between these equations demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of solvation research and the potential for quantum approaches to enhance insights into this critical area of science. The Project employs the quantum Fourier Transform to address an OZ type equation involving convolution

Energy-Efficient Underwater Video Transmission in Horizontal, Shallow-Water Environments
1026651
In this project, we wish to prove that we can achieve 30 Kilobits/s at 750 m of horizontal shallow-water range at an underwater power consumption of 8 Watts or less with up to 4 hydrophone elements. When presented to the offshore inspection market, this new technology will eliminate the requirement for ship-borne inspection. Thus, the size of crew and time spent on boats will be significantly reduced, saving large amounts of money.
