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:

Coherent kilometer-scale links for distributed quantum sensing

Agreement Number:

1038718

Duration: from Feb 10, 2026 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

The Project delivers the missing infrastructure for distributed quantum sensing over kilometer baselines. Ki3 Photonics will build, test, and validate a fiber-based quantum sensing backbone that spans kilometers and supports the low-jitter propagation of quantum and/or clock signals. The NRC will realize a multi-baseline, fast-timing interferometry testbed with common-clock distribution, calibrated quasi-thermal sources, and real-time correlation analysis. Jointly, the Project team will develop the stabilization infrastructure. The Project delivers a globally-unique infrastructure for distributed quantum sensing that aligns fully with the Quantum Sensors Challenge, drives Canadian innovation, and supports the development of next-generation sensing and imaging systems.
