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.

This project entitled « Design and Development of a Q/V Band Composite Reflector Antenna System » consists of designing and developing a novel ground-based antenna prototype for satellite communications (Satcom) applications. The frequency parmeters for this antenna system have been chosen to be compatible with proposed next-generation of Stacom systems.

The Effect of Long Duration Hypogravity on the Perception of Self-Motion
15ILSRA1
Perception of Self-Motion In Space. The Perception of Self-Motion (POSM) project investigates the amplitude of motion evoked by a given pattern of optic flow by measuring how far a participant needs to “travel” in a simulated environment to reach a previously viewed target. Motion profiles will be fit by a model we have developed to describe visually induced motion on earth: our “leaky spatial integrator” model of vection.
Perceived tilt will be measured by having subjects indicate their perceived posture relative to the remembered external environment
(i.e., the ISS). Control experiments will measure perceived distance to dissociate the interpretation of perceived motion from errors in
perceived distance.
