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.

"THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT CAUSES ACCELERATION OF VASCULAR AGING: ROLES OF HYPOGRAVITY, NUTRITION AND RADIATION" Short title: "VASCULAR AGING"
Vascular Aging
Building on previous work (Vascular, Vascular Echo), this experiment will study the roles of weightlessness, nutrition, physical activity and radiation on the cardiovascular system and the onset of insulin resistance on orbit. The study will contribute to the development of countermeasures to maintain astronaut health during long space flights and will help improve health and quality of life here on earth.
