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.

ARTEMIS III GEOLOGY TEAM PARTICIPATION
23ARTEMIS1
The Artemis III Geology Team Grant was awarded to Western University, whose scientist Dr. Gordon Osinski was selected to be part of the geology team through a NASA-led competitive process that was open to international scientists. The objective of this grant is to support the selected scientist and allow them to take part in the scientific team that will support the Artemis III mission planning and operations. This will include planning the scientific tasks of the astronauts as they walk on the Moon, ensuring that the mission achieves its scientific objectives, and the analysis of the returned lunar materials.

A UVIT and Multi-wavelength Study of Several Giant Galaxies in the Nearby Universe
23EXPAST05
This project will support the reduction, calibration, and analysis of imaging data of several nearby giant galaxies from the UVIT instrument aboard the AstroSat space telescope. These data will be analyzed to study the properties of the giant galaxies and their related satellite systems including dwarf galaxies and globular cluster systems. These galaxies are selected to cover a range of local galactic densities so that star formation rates and histories can be studied in the context of local galactic environments. The results will complement related ground-based observations to provide a truly unique and valuable science opportunity.

Distant Sparkles - Ancient Globular Clusters at Cosmic Noon
23JWGO2B11
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.
This project will study a population of globular clusters surrounding a galaxy dubbed ‘The Sparkler’ which was discovered by Canadian astronomers in 2022. Using JWST, the team will determine the age and physical properties of the globular clusters, as well as analyzing the properties of the central galaxy.

Unmixing the ISM - Identifying Dominant Physical Effects with JWST MIRI Mapping of M33
23JWGO2A08
Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.
This project will image a nearby galaxy with JWST to make the best available maps of the gas within it. Gas in galaxies is what causes them to grow and evolve over time, this gas feeds the birth of new stars and when stars create supernovae the gas gets stirred up by the shock waves from those explosions. By comparing this data to a set of simulated galaxies, it can be determined what the exact balance of energies in this galaxy is and how that balance gets tipped in the different parts of this galaxy.
