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.

Nodulation and atmospheric nitrogen uptake in field peas inoculated with different Rhizobium leguminosarum inoculants
1000564
Pea plants can naturally fill their nitrogen requirements via the nodule?forming partnership they establish with N2-fixing bacteria, thus eliminating
the need to use nitrogen fertilizers and decreasing the environmental impact
of agricultural activity. Canadian field pea producers routinely perform
inoculations to maximize the nodulation and atmospheric nitrogen
acquisition of their crops. The procedure largely generates the coveted
results, but it remains globally characterized by a variable level of efficiency.
With the objective of improving the productivity of Canadian farms, this
project will involve performing pea variety trials using different Rhizobium
leguminosarum inoculants. The trials will be conducted for three
consecutive years in two Saskatchewan locations that are representative of
major Canadian Prairie field pea production areas (i.e. by soil type and
precipitation level). Multiple parameters describing soil physicochemical
status, natural R. leguminosarum soil diversity and total abundance, plant
nodulation, inoculant nodule occupancy, and plant seed output will be
assessed in addition to the key field pea productivity parameters ‘nodulation
efficiency’ and ‘percentage nitrogen derived from atmosphere’. Laboratory
experiments will also be conducted in parallel to assess associated plant
root exudate and inoculant Nod factor production. The resulting multifaceted
dataset will be mined to uncover plant and inoculant features that could
potentially be optimized.
