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.

Youth Internship for Validation of JAVA Object oriented apps
1043076
Over the past 2 years, Questron has performed extensive upgrades/developments of three large software apps that serve as the user interfaces with the instruments. In order to enter the commercialization phase, these software products require watchful use, testing, and validation on the Android and PC computer platforms. The youth candidate will start by learning the product applications and then use his/her specialized skills and knowledge of JAVA language based object-oriented platform to debug and describe the coded functions. Having performed these preliminary but essential tasks, the candidate will utilize the refined software applications to interface with actual hardware electronics for function verification and robust function

AI-Powered Electromagnetic Design for Next-Generation Optics
1042640
Artinus is developing physics-informed neural networks for near real-time electromagnetic (EM) simulation with engineering-grade accuracy. Traditional solvers (e.g., finite element/difference methods) can take days or weeks, creating bottlenecks in photonic and EM system design. This project validates an AI-accelerated surrogate solver that matches established methods while delivering orders-of-magnitude speed gains critical for inverse design workflows requiring thousands of iterations. It targets dual-use applications in Canadian defense and aerospace, including sensing, secure communications, satellites, antennas, and nanophotonics, advancing toward a commercial-ready prototype.
