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.

Costing study on low-embodied-carbon construction in Canada
GC-2025-2026-Q3-00001
The project will involve a collaboration led by Clean Energy Canada at Simon Fraser University, working with industry partners to better understand the cost implications of using low-carbon construction materials in common infrastructure and residential and commercial building types across Canada.
The costing analysis will include new case studies representing a variety of horizontal infrastructure assets such as waste and water systems, roads, and transit infrastructure, across three Canadian regions: Western Canada, the Prairies, and Central Canada. The research will also provide additional case studies for commercial construction, including multi-unit residential buildings as well as low-rise residential and commercial buildings in different regions of the country.

Improving model representation of mineral dust aerosol in the Arctic
25HAWCDUST
This project will improve how mineral dust aerosol (MDA) is represented in models in the Arctic region. MDA’s are ice nucleating particles critical to the glaciation of warm and mixed-phase clouds, and cold cloud formation. Cloud phase (liquid vs. ice) strongly impacts how visible and infrared radiation from the Sun and Earth, respectively, transfers in the atmosphere, which in turn strongly impacts the climate effects of clouds (warming vs. cooling). The objectives of this
project are to improve the emission of MDA in the Arctic region in a chemistry-transport model (GEOS-Chem) and a climate model (CanAM). The climate impact of the changes will be evaluated in terms of the direct radiative effect, and model outputs will be compared to PONEX/EarthCARE observations and other model simulations in the Arctic region, at the high spatial resolution required for this complex region.
