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.

ARP - Individually Actuated Pixel Programmable Photomask Demo
1038681
Developing industrial-grade prototypes of the reprogrammable photolithography mask for operational demonstration in a real-world environment (TRL7). After obtaining two patents and with a third pending, the firm has a pre-MVP (a very basic prototype, all pixels moving at once, with software lacking automation and error handling, not yet commercially viable) that has demonstrated the TRL5-6 capability on a GCA stepper in an external microfabrication laboratory.
With this project, the firm aim to produce two more concrete versions (individually actuated pixels, for two different industrial setups: ASML and Canon - market leaders) and test them in real-world environments with at least one partner and potential client (more after this project).
