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.

Agreement:

Development and application of an integrated surface melt probe in Icy Moon and Mars analogue sites for biosignature detection and Mars sample return planetary protection risk ass

Agreement Number:

23FAMCGA75

Duration: from Mar 28, 2024 to Mar 31, 2027
Description:

This project aims to develop, and field test a prototype of a novel ice melt probe system to access the shallow subsurface ice on the icy moons and retrieve meltwater samples that will be analyzed by three instruments. This project will provide excellent training and mentoring to Canadian HQP through synergistic interactions within a multidisciplinary team with integrated project components including site characterization, instrument development and the advancement of new technologies, testing in high fidelity analogue field sites, and determining pathogenicity risk assessments of Mars Sample Return (SMR).
