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.

The Research component of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Class Grant and Contribution Program to support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future. This project has the objectives:
• To support the development of science and technology relevant to the priorities of the Canadian Space Agency;
• To foster the continuing development of a critical mass of researchers and highly qualified people in Canada in areas relevant to the priorities of the Canadian Space Agency.

The proposed experiments aim at better understanding the isothermal diffusion and thermodiffusion phenomena in multicomponent systems with important applications in the petroleum, energy and biomedical sectors. At several European Universities, Ryerson University and the Russian Academy of Sciences, we have developed thermodiffusion theories for binary mixtures. We wish to extend our theories and models to ternary mixtures, using the new experimental data to be obtained in space.

The Awareness and Learning component of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Class Grant and Contributions Program to support Research, Awareness and Learning in Space Science and Technology provides financial support to individuals and organizations involved in initiatives targeting Canadian youthy, student,physicians and educators focusing on increasing their awareness, knowledge, development and participation in space-related disciplines/activities, and advanced educational programs. The project has the objectives: -to provide learning opportunities to Canadian students in various space-rel;ated disciplines; and - to support the operations of organisations dedicated to space education.

This project will increase the scientific-literacy of the school's students through their research, writing and production of both an initial hard cover book as well as a subsequent audio book based on the adventure of a manned mission to Mars. The high school students engaged in this project will not only increase their awareness of Canadian space science and technology but will also be involved in problem solving some of the challenges related to sending humans to Mars. In addition to the students developing the material with the support of faculty members from a variety of disciplines, the target audience for the books will ultimately be elementary school students. The project's expected reach is approximately 10,800 students in the Calgary area.

This initiative tells the stories of three aspiring astronauts through the form of a series of comic books. The comic book adventures will engage Canadian students from grades 4-6 in curriculum-focused, space-rich science learning. The project will also provide content housed on an interactive website, developed in collaboration with the faculty of education and with members of the education community, to provide educators with hands-on activities related to space science and that will fully engage the student in mission-based experimentation while allowing the educator to monitor the progress of each individual student.
