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.

Magnetosphere Ionosphere Coupling and Wave-Particle Interactions
21SUSTMIWP
Ion Heating and Outflow
Simulate how ultra-low-frequency plasma waves in our magnetosphere interact with the atmosphere close to Earth. These waves can heat up ions in our atmosphere, and launch them deeper into space. Ion upflow can lead to the loss of atmosphere into space.

Studies of Trans-Ionospheric Radio Wave Propagation Using the Radio Receiver Instrument on the ePOP Satellite Mission
Trans-ionospheric RRI Studies
Study radio waves sent from radars on the ground up to satellites. By tracking which waves pass through the atmosphere, researchers can infer which were reflected back to the ground.

AUTONOMOUS HEALTH MONITORING FOR ADAPTION ASSESSMENT ON LONG RANGE MISSIONS USING BIG DATA ANALYTICS
20EXPLSR2
Contract award to the 2018 LSRS AO.
This experiment will assess cardiovascular
deconditioning during spaceflight. We will
assess the changing cardiovascular
function throughout the duration of the
data collection windows to demonstrate the
impact of aspects such as spaceflight,
exercise, activities, sleep and mental
health state on the cardiovascular system.
