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.

Climate Resilience through Empowering Women
7448439 P010094001
The Climate Resilience through Empowering Women project aims for i) women’s empowerment to equip and empower Ethiopian women as leaders in the rejuvenation of coffee farms and the production of climate resilient, specialty coffee and ii) climate change mitigation to protect and replenish the coffee forests of western and southern Ethiopia to ensure continued capture of Green House Gases and the reduced vulnerability of coffee farms to increases in temporal and spatial variability of temperature and precipitation.

Resilience of ecosystems and women's leadership in the Sahel
7448776 P012350001
The RÉELS project aims to strengthen the capacities of women, communities and local organizations to identify the vulnerability of ecosystems and biodiversity in their territory and to identify nature-based solutions as a tool for adaptation to climate change. These solutions can be integrated into community development plans. A more sustainable and equitable use of restored or safeguarded ecosystems will reduce conflicts related to natural resources and promote better social cohesion in the Liptako-Gourma region. This project falls under the Environment and Climate Action and Inclusive Governance components of Canada's Feminist International Assistance Policy. The initiative will also strengthen Canada's involvement in the Sahel Alliance and its ministerial commitments on food security and in the fight against climate change.

The GigaBIT Observatory: Integration and Flight Testing of the Optical Telescope Assembly
21FATORA22
Balloon-borne visible and near-UV telescopes can achieve a resolution over a wide field
much better than can be achieved on the ground, and comparable only with space telescopes. The resolution achievable with visible light astronomical telescopes from the ground is limited by random refraction of light by the turbulent atmosphere to ~0.5” in the best conditions. Conversely, stratospheric balloon-borne telescopes, operating above 99.5% of the Earth’s atmosphere, avoid atmospheric distortions present in ground-based telescopes. The capability of the instrument to be developed by this project will be unmatched in the blue and near-UV by any current or planned observatory.
This project will provide exceptional training for students in the development and operation of complex instruments in a space-like environment. The GigaBIT observatory will take images with detail comparable to NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, but with a much higher sensitivity. With the development of that unique capability, Canada has the opportunity to lead the next great sky survey, with a suite of unmatched abilities: an angular resolution better than the Euclid space telescope, with depths several magnitudes deeper than its deep survey, while operating in the near UV.

Pandora Mission An optical-infrared Space Telescope to Characterized the Atmospheres of Exoplanets
22EXPROSS1
The Pandora Mission is low-cost space telescope designed measure the composition of distant transiting planets. The Pandora payload has the unique capability of measuring precision photometry simultaneously with near-infrared spectroscopy that will enable scientists to disentangle stellar activity from the subtle signature of a planetary atmosphere.
With a launch date of March 2025, the Pandora mission represents a new class of low-cost space mission that will achieve out-of-this-world science.
