Purpose of Transfer Payment Program: TRIUMF, Canada's national facility for research in subatomic physics, is located on the campus of the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver. In operation since 1975, TRIUMF is an un-incorporated association established under a Joint Venture Agreement by six universities – the University of Alberta, UBC, Carleton University, Simon Fraser University, the University of Toronto, and the University of Victoria. TRIUMF also has seven associate members: the University of Guelph, the University of Manitoba, McMaster University, l'Université de Montréal, Queen's University, the University of Regina and St. Mary's University. TRIUMF houses a particle accelerator that produces beams of mesons and other particles used by Canadian and foreign researchers for fundamental research in nuclear and particle physics. This research lays the foundation for new technologies in the physical and life sciences, and the facility is a contributor to advanced materials research in Canada. TRIUMF functions as Canada's gateway to international subatomic physics. It is Canada's contribution to the worldwide network of high-energy physics facilities located in every major country in the industrialized world. |

Purpose of Transfer Payment Program: NRC, in partnership with other international bodies, provides financial contributions that support the management and operations of these telescopes and their related facilities, and participates in the oversight and direction of the facilities and research. Astrophysics research and development requires large, costly and very precise telescopes and related instruments situated in areas that will provide ideal viewing conditions. It is beyond the capacity of individual firms or even countries to support the costs of developing and maintaining the facilities required for astrophysics research, thus it is necessary for public sector organizations, through international partnerships, to support this R&D. |
