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.

Novel organic/2D material hybrid inks for low-cost, flexible, printed, near infrared detectors – workstream 2
996752
This project aims to develop new materials to enable low-cost, flexible and visibly transparent detection of near-infrared (NIR) light. Current detectors are high performance but are costly to fabricate and limited in form factor. Novel materials such as organic semiconductors (OSCs) or 2D materials have shown promise for NIR detection. In particular the modular synthesis of OSCs allows a huge variety of possible structures, enabling precise control of the absorption characteristics and compatibility with low-temperature solution processing techniques. However, NIR detectors based on OSCs tend to have poor environmental stability and there are challenges in designing materials which are sensitive at the second NIR window. Combining semiconducting polymers with 2D materials could lead to flexible, inexpensive devices. Brilliant Matters will collaborate with NRC and the 2D Materials and Electrochemical Devices lab at the University of Waterloo in order to investigate the potential for these hybrid materials and deliver additively manufactured flexible, transparent NIR photodetectors. This will enable a transformative leap in applications, moving away from the cost and design limitations of expensive, rigid and opaque sensors.
