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.

High Resolution Geophysical Characterization of the Lunar Subsurface using
Miniaturized Seismometers and Gravimeters
21EXPLEAP1
Following the Announcement of Opportunity published on Nov. 9, 2020, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to work in collaboration with researchers from the University of Manitoba and McGill University, to use miniaturized seismometers and gravimeters to develop new models of the Moon's structure. The team will conduct high resolution studies of the lunar subsurface while strengthening Canada's talent pool in space by training eight postgraduate researchers.

Relative Navigation and Hazard Detection & Avoidance Integration for Commercial Landers
20STDPO01
Space agencies, research institutes and private organizations are looking for commercial landing services in order to reach sites of interest on the Moon. Because of their poorly known local topography, such sites are potentially hazardous for landing. These landing systems will require to be equipped with high-accuracy navigation systems to accurately reach their target and Hazard Detection and Avoidance (HDA) systems to detect and avoid any surface hazards at touchdown. There is currently no readily available commercial systems to answer this need.
The “Relative Navigation and Hazard Detection & Avoidance Integration for Commercial Landers” project aims at filling this need by developing a fully integrated and low-cost HDA system composed of a Lidar sensor, a camera sensor, an inertial measurement unit and an embedded processing unit where optical navigation and HDA functions are integrated. This innovative system will allow the reduction of the overall Moon landing system costs and bring more Canadian technology and know-how on the Moon.
