Did Voyager ever send the Quantum Slip Stream design to Starfleet during one of their transmissions to Earth?
Quantum Slip Stream drive.

They sent all the information they had gathered on the Delta Quadrant species they encountered. I can't imagine why they wouldn't have sent info. on any technology they aquired.
Though, to be fair, it is never stated. And, by the time of Nemesis, Starfleet is shown to still be using Warp Drive and not Quantum Slip Stream Drive.

what i never understood about the quantum slipstream drive is why they didnt just use it for short trips to get back to the alpha quadrant.
Plot trumps logic, don't you ever watch the show? 
They HAD to have sent the data back. Not only was it their duty, it was their best hope of getting home. The best minds in the Federation would have been put to work on it - and would stand a far better chance of perfecting it than the Voyager crew.
Still, I suspect the technology was a tough nut to crack. It may simply be beyond Federation science for the present (24th century) time but they definitely have a leg up on it.
My choice for Endgame would have been for Barclay to crack the quantum slipstream problem and transmit the solution to Voyager. It would have had profound implications for 24th century Trek but TPTB seem to have abandoned that for the ghastly Abrahms universe anyway.

the federation was busy with the dominion war, the dominion had no slipstream drive, federation ships, even the most advanced ones like voyager could not easily and safely be upgraded to slipstream drive, so why bother? that's for a whole new generation of ships with years of development and testing. meanwhile, the remans build a mighty battleship, and the romulans those upgraded sleek warbirds. looks like bigger guns are more important than speed.
