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.

Atmospheric Gas Motions in the Hydra A Galaxy Cluster
25EXPXRSM2
Hydra A is the most powerful FR I radio source in the nearby Universe. Emanating from the central galaxy in a bright X-ray cluster, its jets have inflated a system of X-ray cavities and a surrounding Mach 1.3 shock front extending several hundred kiloparsecs into the cluster atmosphere. Its proximity (z=0.054) and large angular size requires two pointings to measure the energetics of the active inner jets and a second pointing toward the enormously powerful northern cavity and surrounding shock front. The pointings will reveal the expansion speed and cluster weather due to atmospheric bulk motion on the structure of the X-ray cavities. This measurement addresses the fundamental problem of how jet energy heats cluster atmospheres and prevents catastrophic cooling.
