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.

Optical Amplification Subsystem for next generation satellite constellations
22STDPUN01
This project aims to develop a space-based optical subsystem (LMU, or Laser Module Unit) for intersatellite communications minimizing size, weight and power (SWAP) while incorporating a booster amplifier, a preamplifier, a beacon and the control electronics. This will allow creating optical amplifiers that will be key subsystems for next generation satellite constellations enabling connectivity through the utilization of optical intersatellite links (OISL).
The purpose of this project is to accomplish key developments to ensure that the optical amplifier subsystem meets new and updated specifications for the satellites.

Virtual Reality Camera System (VRCS) Flight Demonstration
22STDPP02
The goal of the proposed mission is to land the first stereoscopic virtual reality (VR) camera on the moon onboard a Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) lander. This mission will demonstrate the technology to capture high quality 360-degree stereoscopic VR content from the moon gaining critical flight heritage necessary for the subsequent development of the Space Explorers: Mission to the Moon series.
The mission will serve two primary purposes. First, to mature Felix & Paul Studios VR capture and processing technologies. Second, to capture content from space to serve in ongoing productions of a new series.

Investigating the radiation response during anhydrobiosis in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and applications for future space biosciences research
21HLSRM02
Yeast is an ideal model system for space biosciences research because they can be maintained in a dry desiccated state for
prolonged periods of time without the need for water or nutrients. However, we still lack a complete understanding of how
this desiccated state impacts their natural response to ionizing radiation. This research project will examine the effects of
different types of radiation on the cellular and molecular response in desiccated yeast. Overall, this research will provide
the foundational knowledge that will enable the use of desiccated yeast as a model system for future long duration space
missions.

On-orbit demonstration of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Optical and RF satellite data relay service for real-time data downlink and tracking, telemetry, and control
22STDPP01
The project will support a technology demonstration mission which will afford the opportunity to gain flight heritage in advance of potential commercial sales. It will demonstrate the feasibility of a flexible LEO-based data relay network capable of providing a high-data rate connection via optical links, and a low-data rate connection via radio frequency links.
This hardware technology demonstration project is a critical step in delivering the internet to space as high availability and high bandwidth space-to-space communication will be the backbone of the new space economy.

Advancing the Application of Additive Manufacturing to Support Lunar Exploration
20STDPO27
The proposed project advances research and development to optimize the impacts of Additive Manufacturing structural design and material composition, and the surface finish on space componentry to withstand the extreme thermal environments found in lunar surface exploration.
The purpose of this project is to advance the field of Additive Manufacturing with respect to light weighting of structural designs for space hardware, and through the study of alloys and surface finish impact on the mechanical properties of space components undergoing extreme thermal conditions.
