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.

Inclusive Space Pathways
25EDIYOR08
The Inclusive Space Pathways Program is a comprehensive, cohort-based initiative designed to equip equity-deserving post-secondary students, especially women, with the skills, knowledge, and networks necessary for successful careers in the Canadian space sector. The program will consist of a six-week summer school, complemented by an ambassador network to broaden its impact. To accomplish this, it integrates three interconnected components that collectively address technical capacity building, professional career confidence and readiness, and multidimensional inclusivity. The three components of this program include Applied Knowledge and Techniques for Space, in which students will learn to design a space sensor system and subsequently be trained on manufacturing sensor components using specified printers and suitable materials; Diverse perspectives workshop series, which will instruct participants on unconscious bias, allyship, self-protection in disputes, and safeguarding against discrimination; and Capstone projects to provide a platform for students to apply their technical and professional skills, in which teams of six students will apply technical and collaboration skills to a range of space projects involving sensors and will pitch their solutions to a panel acting as funding evaluators or aerospace investors. After the summer school, with their consent, this project will track student trajectories to explore retention rates and long-term impacts.
