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.

A Closer Look at the Formation and Evolution of M31’s Inner Disk
24JWGO3A08
this program leverages the unique spectroscopic and imaging capabilities of JWST to measure the chemical composition, velocities, and ages of stars across the disk of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) in a level of detail that has, until JWST, only been possible within our own Milky Way galaxy. This novel dataset will provide the first spatial profile of detailed star-by-star stellar chemistry in an external spiral galaxy as well as the most precise constraints on the historical star formation of M31’s inner disk to date.

Scientific Camera for the Czech Quick Ultra-Violet Kilonova Surveyor
24EXPROSS6
The Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto is contributing the primary science camera, the U of T developed “LUVCam” to the Czech National space telescope mission: Quick Ultra-VIolet Kilonova surveyor (QUVIK). The Dunlap Institute is granted full partnership and Co-I status on QUVIK, access to all data, and observing time on the mission. Graduate students, faculty, fellows, and staff are flying LUVCam on the GRBBeta CubeSat mission, which launched in July 2024 as technology development precursor to QUVIK. LUVCam will open a new path to low-cost, highquality space astronomy for universities and scientists worldwide.
