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.

Extension to Indigenous Chairs in Nursing
188893
The Indigenous Research Chair in Nursing initiative supports nurses of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous ancestry to conduct research in Indigenous Health Nursing, furthering the development of knowledge and best and wise practices in the area of nursing practice, education, research and administration. In 2019, following the Chair: Indigenous Research Chairs in Nursing competition, six Chairs across Canada (Quebec, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba) were granted $985,000 over five years in funding. With additional funds now available, CIHR has decided to extend the funding to these Chairs through directed grants. The total amount available is six (6) grants of $200,000 each, with a funding start date of October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026. This funding will support the continuation of their research as Indigenous Research Chairs in Nursing, while CIHR undertakes the work for the relaunch of this initiative.
