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.

Agreement:

Are nanoplastics forming in a boreal lake after controlled contamination with
microplastics?

Agreement Number:

1019892

Duration: from May 1, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

Nanoplastics (NPs) measure 0.001 to 1 µm, or 1-1000 nm and are mainly
formed from environmental microplastics (MPs) measuring 1-5000 µm as a
result of physical, chemical and biological fragmentation processes.
However, nanoplastics characterization in a natural ecosystem, abundance
and toxicity represent an important technical challenge due to their
complexity and most research being done on microplastics. Building on a
multi-year project to understand the effects of microplastics on a whole
boreal lake ecosystem exposed to microplastics for three years, the Project
will develop methods to quantify and characterize nanoplastics in the water
column of a boreal lake to monitor the in-situ formation and fate of
nanoplastics in this lake. The data obtained should provide crucial
information to demonstrate the formation of nanoplastics from microplastics
under natural conditions and will help to understand the environmental
effects and fate of microplastic and nanoplastic particles in the aquatic
environment.
