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 model, experiment, and terrestrial analog-informed interpretation of the record of planetary habitability at Mount Sharp
25EXPMSLUC
Sedimentary rocks exposed at the Martian surface offer an information-rich record of the planet's past environmental conditions and biological habitability. Curiosity's expected exploration of unique sedimentological units in Mount Sharp offer exciting opportunities for exploring the interplay between climate, water, and biological habitability at the critical time in Mars' past when water-rich conditions existed and hence could have originated life. This proposal seeks to leverage our team's expertise in quantifying and modeling these geochemical and hydrological processes and Curiosity's prowess as a roving field geologist and mobile laboratory to develop a framework for interpreting past Martian climate and habitability.
