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.

Agreement:

Rapid-prototyping and high-volume manufacturing of metasurfaces and metalenses

Agreement Number:

1029047

Duration: from Apr 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026
Description:

Metasurfaces, with their compact size and broadband performance, are poised to revolutionize optics industries, however, the lack of accessible fabrication services hinders their widespread adoption. We plan to bridge this gap by adding a dedicated metasurfaces option to our NanoSOI™ foundry, which is utilized by leading companies in quantum computing (QC), artificial intelligence (AI), LIDAR, and sensing.

Adding dedicated metasurface and metalens fabrication capacity to our existing foundry will position our company for the future growth that is expected to occur in the field of advanced materials and optics for applications in electronics devices, high-speed computing, AI, and advanced imaging.

Duration: from Apr 1, 2025 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

The Health Technology Assessment Support for SMEs aims to provide health technology assessment and guidance to SMEs. This project will help SMEs understand in quantified terms, the potential value of their new products/technologies to healthcare payers and insurers, commercial viability, market access opportunity, risks, and potential return on investment. It will undertake a quantitative assessment of the clinical and economic outcomes that might be achieved with the new product, and a determination of whether a healthcare payer will reimburse the product at a price sufficient to generate a return on investment. This will assist in strategic decision making that will impact the strategies used in the product life cycle management.
