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.

Innovative Miniaturized Instrument for Satellite-Based Methane Monitoring
22STDPS05
The objective of the proposed project is to advance the concept of an innovative miniaturized instrument, which uses a novel measurement concept for high spatial resolution and high sensitivity satellite-based methane monitoring. The precision of the methane column density measurement is expected to be up to two times better than current technologies, thereby significantly advancing the state of the art in satellite remote sensing of methane. Furthermore, the proposed instrument will have several practical advantages over current technologies including simplified design, reduced manufacturing cost, and increased operational flexibility. Benefits to Canada include the direct application of space technology to fight climate change. The technology is not only applicable for GHGSat’s next generation constellation, but also for hosted payload opportunities and potentially other commercial and governmental Earth observation missions. This instrument concept will help ensure continued leadership of Canada in high-resolution monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions at individual industrial facilities from space.

Design and Evaluation of Gameful Communication technologies for Aging
in Place
1001222
This project will, through a deep contextual design exercise, design, prototype, and evaluate a suite of gameful technologies that foster discussions about successful aging between older adults, their family, friends, and caregivers. First, the team will examine common sources of miscommunication between older adults and their peers. Second, low-fidelity prototypes will be designed to explore how gameful technology can guide and motivate communication between older adults and their peers. Third, the prototypes will then be collaboratively designed and evaluated through joint design workshops involving the researchers, and older adults and caregivers with lived experience. Finally, a medium-fidelity prototype will be developed to combine successful design features from the joint design workshop for a week-long field study. The research will improve our understanding of how communication technologies can support older adults aging in place and provide design guidance for researchers and practitioners developing such technology.
