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:

Understanding Arctic Winter Clouds and their interactions with the environment and aerosols during the PONEX Campaign

Agreement Number:

25HAWCCLOU

Duration: from Oct 27, 2025 to Oct 27, 2028
Description:

The Arctic region is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet and the role of clouds on the radiation budget still remains largely uncertain, especially in winter when the Arctic atmosphere is understudied. A wide range of
factors could contribute, such as cloud phase (ice, liquid, mixed), cloud height and thickness, and atmospheric aerosol particles. The proposed research would work towards closing these gaps by characterizing clouds, snowfall, and aerosols in the Arctic winter as part of the POlar Night EXperiment, an aircraft and ground-based campaign that will take place in Inuvik, NT in January 2026. Cloud properties and precipitation rates will be related to atmospheric conditions such as temperature and moisture. The expected outcomes will be an improved understanding of the conditions that lead to clouds and snowfall in this understudied season of the Arctic.
