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.

On-Chip Multi-Wavelength Coherent Comb Light Source for Converged Optical and Wireless Access Networks

Agreement Number:

1023867

Duration: from Dec 6, 2024 to Mar 31, 2026
Description:

This project focuses on the development of a high-performance on-chip multi-wavelength coherent comb light source through the hybrid integration of key photonic components, including a quantum dot (QD) comb laser, QD semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), optical isolator and polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber. The core activities will involve establishing optical interconnections between these components using novel advanced technologies, such as 3D-printed polymer micro-optics, culminating in a proof-of-concept demonstration. This project will be executed in collaboration between the NRC and Aeponyx, the two primary partners contributing the necessary expertise and technologies to achieve the project’s final goals
