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 SEARCH FOR X-RAY COUNTERPARTS FROM NEARBY REPEATING FAST RADIO BURST SOURCES WITH ASTROSAT
23EXPAST01
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are energetic radio flashes that emanate from extragalactic sources of unknown origin. This project will use AstroSat and several sensitive ground-based radio telescopes (GBT, Effelsberg, and CHIME) to conduct simultaneous X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and radio observations of FRB 20200120E, the closest known extragalactic repeating FRB, during a radio outburst. AstroSat will be used to search for multiwavelength emission from the source. The results from this study will provide new insights into the enigmatic FRB phenomenon and enhance Canada's reputation in space astronomy.

ARTEMIS III GEOLOGY TEAM PARTICIPATION
23ARTEMIS1
The Artemis III Geology Team Grant was awarded to Western University, whose scientist Dr. Gordon Osinski was selected to be part of the geology team through a NASA-led competitive process that was open to international scientists. The objective of this grant is to support the selected scientist and allow them to take part in the scientific team that will support the Artemis III mission planning and operations. This will include planning the scientific tasks of the astronauts as they walk on the Moon, ensuring that the mission achieves its scientific objectives, and the analysis of the returned lunar materials.
