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.

Deployment-ready quantum nanomagnetic sensors and packaging methods for Canadian Industries

Agreement Number:

1025481

Duration: from Jan 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

Atomic defects in diamonds offer the potential to serve as room-temperature quantum sensors, enabling precise monitoring of temperature, pressure, and electromagnetic fields with unprecedented precision. Diamond-based quantum magnetosensors offer extremely promising applications in orbital magnetosphere mapping, low-altitude mapping for mineral prospecting, and ground-level boarded sensors for defense and environmental applications. Being in their technological infancy, these diamond devices struggle to rival their non-quantum counterparts but do present tremendous potential for improvement. By combining the expertise of SBQuantum, the Université de Sherbrooke, the University of Calgary, and two National Research Council centers, the Project brings these quantum magnetosensors to their full deployment potential and lead the Canadian quantum technology industrial ecosystem to new horizons. The Project is transformative research that has the potential to revolutionize production processes and the Canadian quantum sensing technology landscape by significantly improving the sensitivity, cost, size, power consumption and industrial applications of magnetic quantum sensors. This will be accomplished by producing and commercializing nano integrated quantum magnetometers for high sensitivity, accuracy, and cost efficiency. To realise this, the Project Team will develop a scalable diamond-based quantum sensor fabrication process and demonstrate a robust industrial packaging methods to establish a Canadian assembly line for quantum photonic products. The initiative also targets the advancement of applications for the Canadian mining industry with quantum sensing technology for ore processing and the deployment of drones for advanced exploration surveys. Finally, the industrial partner will distribute those quantum sensing solutions to domestic and international clients

Scalable cryogenic integration of III-V single-photon light sources

Agreement Number:

1025699

Duration: from Jan 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

The long-term goal of this Project is a scalable, passively aligned and packaged integrated quantum light source used in a turn-key manner both as fibre-pigtailed emitter arrays and as part of other micro-packages in a quantum optical system. This will bring together the quantum-dot nanowire light source technology invented at NRC and the hybrid silicon photonics integration technology used and developed at UBC, both leading Canadian research institutions, with a commercialisation effort led by Dream Photonics Inc. (Dream).

High TC Josephson Junction Arrays for Quantum Standards and Measurement Devices

Agreement Number:

1025702

Duration: from Jan 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

The Project brings together academic leaders in quantum technology, with national laboratory experts in standards and industry specialists in measurement systems to deliver an easily deployable quantum voltage standard. For every field, standards are essential to ensuring safety, quality, and reliability. For innovation, standards bring precision that enables improved performance. The quantum field cannot rely on last century’s classical standards (such as a kg mass placed in a safe). Instead, a new family of quantum standards are needed to bring higher precision and compatibility with quantum devices. Fortunately, quantum technology enables such a device, that is itself a quantum circuit and whose precision is traceable solely to fundamental constants. It builds standards from uniquely quantum effects and in systems that are extraordinarily engineerable. These are essential to building and perfecting the control systems that will be at the heart of all quantum computers and sensors and will sustain Canada’s leadership in the quantum field
