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.

Applied Public Health Chair - Environment, Climate Change, and One Health

Agreement Number:

175935

Duration: from Feb 1, 2024 to Jan 31, 2030
Description:

The specific objectives of this funding opportunity are to:

¿ Support high quality programs of population health intervention research that contribute to new knowledge to improve health and health equity across the life course. A program of research outlines multiple research projects that are conceptually linked and implemented over several years, based on an analysis of gaps in current knowledge in the field, especially gaps of importance to knowledge users engaged in relevant policies and programs in public health and other sectors.
¿ Catalyze interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral collaborations between researchers and knowledge users that contribute to evidence-informed decision-making and use of knowledge by public health and other sectors.
¿ Support and strengthen the ability of the research community to respond with actionable evidence to emerging or re-emerging public health concerns that could impact the health and well-being of Canadians.
¿ Mentor the current and next generation of population and public health researchers (in particular post-doctoral fellows and early career researchers), practitioners and policy makers from a range of disciplines and sectors.
¿ Stimulate the application of innovative theories, methods and approaches in research and knowledge mobilization (KMb) that promote reciprocal learning within and/or between countries. This includes low-, middle- and/or high-income countries.
¿ Strengthen research excellence and ensure maximum impact through consideration of diverse socio-cultural identity and/or biological factors in research design, including diverse research methods such as those based in Indigenous ways of knowing.
