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.

PPA Preparation at Olymel
CASPP2-PCPSA2 - 3470
This project aims to modify the slaughter line to enable slaughtered pigs to be transferred directly to transport trailers, thereby ensuring operational continuity during crises, reducing transportation times, maintaining employment levels and preventing animal welfare issues associated with extended waiting periods on farms.

Reduction of GHG emissions, by reducing the consumption of fuel and nitrogen fertilizer
ACT-A-4173
This project aims to involve acquiring an electric feed mixer for the dairy herd, a lagoon manure pump and accessories, and the purchase of a hose-equipped slurry spray boom. The project will reduce on-farm fuel use by 75% and fertilizer use by 95%.

Division of Atmospheric and Space Physics (DASP) Meeting
25COACLITW
The objective of this AO is to support Canadian students to participate in national and international space conferences and training events that will offer them the opportunity to learn about and be involved in the latest developments in space science and technology, to develop their professional network, and in some cases, present their research results at the national and international level.

The Second Generation Balloon-borne Very Large Baseline Interferometry Experiment
25FAQUB72
By suspending a radio telescope from a stratospheric balloon above 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, BVEX2 will demonstrate a new way to observe high-frequency light that is normally blocked by the atmosphere. This project will make the first demonstration that a telescope suspended from a stratospheric balloon can be used as part of an Earth-sized network of radio telescopes. The project will also serve as a pathfinder experiment that will develop technology that could be used for more sensitive high-frequency balloon telescopes to increase the number of mapped black hole shadows and eventually for a space interferometer that can map the regions around dozens of black holes.

Evaluating CEA technology readiness in reduced pressure environments
25FAGUB07
The advanced growth chambers at the Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility (CESRF) at the University of Guelph can simulate conditions equivalent to those found on the Moon and Mars and will be used in this project to address four critical knowledge gaps in extraterrestrial plant production: Water and nutrient delivery, Crop performance, Multi-crop interactions, and Environment monitoring and control. The project will train HQP through hands-on experience with cutting-edge systems for extraterrestrial plant production and the research insights will inform the design of food production modules for Lunar and Martian habitats.

Let there be Light Directly Witnessing the Birth of Metal- Free Pop III Stars in an Ultra-Faint Galaxy at z6.5
25JWGO4A06
This project will use JWST/NIRSpec to confirm the first robust candidate for a Population III galaxy (ID16043) at redshift z = 6.5, enable detections of rest-frame optical lines in extremely faint galaxies and probe the existence of low mass black holes at high redshift.
