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 project name is ""Analysis of remotely sensed, aerosol-cloud interaction over the Arctic"". This project will analyze the aerosol-cloud interactions over the Arctic when aerosols like dust and smoke are predominant (in the upper troposphere during the polar winter; and in the lower troposphere during the polar spring). The analysis will be done using satellite-based instruments supported by ground-based measurements, microphysical surface measurements and transport model simulations.

The project name is ""Observation and modeling of the tropical runaway- and super-greenhouse"". Using satellite measurements of the Earth's tropics, this research will investigate the local runaway greenhouse and super greenhouse effect. These phenomena occur when there is high water vapour content in the atmosphere, which limits the amount of radiation the surface can give off to cool itself. Currently, this only affects the warmest areas of the tropics (e.g. the Pacific warm pool) but it is expected to spread, and potentially become more severe as the global climate warms.

International Network of Space-related Programs Integrating Research and Education (CaNoRock - INSPIRE)
This project is a five-year collaboration between seven Canadian and Norwegian Universities and the Andøya Space Centre. It uses undergraduate student rocket activities as a unique hands-on training program which acts as a highly visible magnet to attract these students to space-related graduate studies, and to the aerospace industry.
