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.

Atmospheric radiation and retrieval from ground infrared hyperspectral measurements
25HAWCRADI
Well-calibrated atmospheric radiance measurements contain rich information of atmospheric states for remote sensing applications and can be used as a reference dataset for comparing newly developed satellite instruments. This project aims to deploy a ground-based high-resolution infrared spectrometer, Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI), to the PONEX campaign and to use its measurements with high accuracy to validate the measurements of other radiometers and compare their atmospheric sounding abilities.

A SEARCH FOR X-RAY COUNTERPARTS FROM NEARBY REPEATING FAST RADIO BURST SOURCES WITH ASTROSAT
23EXPAST01
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are energetic radio flashes that emanate from extragalactic sources of unknown origin. This project will use AstroSat and several sensitive ground-based radio telescopes (GBT, Effelsberg, and CHIME) to conduct simultaneous X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and radio observations of FRB 20200120E, the closest known extragalactic repeating FRB, during a radio outburst. AstroSat will be used to search for multiwavelength emission from the source. The results from this study will provide new insights into the enigmatic FRB phenomenon and enhance Canada's reputation in space astronomy.

Exometeorology Weather on an Isolated World Beyond Our Own
23JWGO2B01
Following the JWST 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.
The project will use spectroscopic time-series monitoring to investigate the condensate clouds of the isolated exoplanet analog SIMP J0136+09. Observing one full rotation each with NIRSPec and MIRI instruments will provide data for the most detailed phase-resolved atmospheric investigation of any extrasolar atmosphere to date. The results of this program will provide crucial insight on the importance of time-varying atmospheric processes for brown dwarfs, isolated planetary-mass objects and bona fide directly imaged exoplanets.

Panchromatic Phase Curve of the Highest-S/N Hot Neptune
23JWGO2B02
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 use NIRSpec to conduct phase curve spectroscopy to study the atmospheric structure of Neptune-size exoplanet LTT 9779b. NIRSpec will measure the planet’s global thermal and molecular structure, alongside measuring its cloud properties at all longitudes. This project aims to provide a definitive benchmark for hot-Neptune’s against which to compare the next generation of small exoplanet atmospheric circulation models.
