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.

Characterization of Crater Morphologies on Asteroid Bennu
22EXPOSIBC
The interior structure and surface morphology of asteroids reflect the net result of processes contributing to their formation
and subsequent evolution. We will conduct geophysical studies using data returned by the OSIRIS REx mission to asteroid
Bennu, a small near-Earth asteroid ~500m across, focusing on the surface morphology of craters. We will investigate whether
crater interiors display different properties compared with their exteriors and whether there is any dependence of these
properties on spatial location and/or crater diameter to inform how craters probe the subsurface structure of Bennu

Geochemical Characterization of Asteroid Bennu
22EXPORUBC
Based on the information from the spacecraft encounter, we expect that Bennu’s bulk elemental composition reflects that of
its parent asteroid and is similar to the composition of the Sun.

Unmixing the spectral variations of the south polar region to retrieve its composition, volatile content, sources and modification processes
The VIPER rover mission will provide critical and localized observations to better interpret the orbital remote sensing observations. Here we propose to use observations from VIPER to study the local mineralogy, volatile content, and space weathering, and compare them with regional information from orbital measurements.
