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.

Metal combustion technology for in-situ space resource utilization and orbital debris removal: Sounding rocket, parabolic flights and ground-based studies

Agreement Number:

25FAMCA54

Duration: from Feb 27, 2026 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

Developing the foundations of metal–oxygen combustion technology for space propulsion and energy storage is the focus of the current proposal and is also linked to a broader goal of advancing metals as carbon-free carriers of clean energy on Earth. This project proposes to analyze experimental data from a space sounding rocket experiment, tentatively scheduled for launch in 2027 from Esrange Space Center in Kiruna (Sweden), and to direct the experiment’s progression in real time through ground-to-space telemetry. In addition, the project will complement the flight mission through a range of ground-based experiments conducted on various metal flames and will test a novel concept for deorbiting debris from Earth and lunar orbits (by inducing deceleration within a large, low-density cloud of nano-oxide particles generated through metal combustion) through a proof-of-concept experiment.

Agreement:

The Night of Several Transits: Probing Stellar Behavior and Planetary Diversity in K2-384

Agreement Number:

25JWGO4A15

Duration: from Feb 27, 2026 to Mar 31, 2028
Description:

This DDT project targets the active M dwarf K2-384, which hosts five transiting planets. During July 10-11, 2025, three planets will transit sequentially within 13 hours, allowing JWST/NIRSpec-PRISM spectroscopy to isolate stellar contamination and model stellar heterogeneity. The data will constrain K2-384f’s atmospheric composition and support development of new retrieval models, improving JWST strategies for studying planets around active M dwarfs.
