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.

The President’s Fund grants are intended to:
support organizations and initiatives whose goal is consistent with CIHR’s vision, mandate and strategic directions;
provide financial assistance for events that will increase CIHR’s visibility such as conferences, workshops or other events where the objectives of the event align with the interests of CIHR overall and not individual Institutes;
provide special, one-time grants to support health research activities where the request falls outside of CIHR’s regular funding programs.

Institute Community Support Grant
168565
The ICS Program is designed to foster community development by providing grants and awards to individuals and organizations for the purposes of:
Enabling research and knowledge translation activities where the circumstances fall outside of CIHR's current suite of funding programs.
Supporting individuals and organizations whose goals are consistent with CIHR and its Institutes' vision, mandate and strategic directions.
The ICS Program is not intended to support the direct cost of research (e.g., pilot projects, feasibility studies or operating grants), principal and co-investigator salaries or research equipment.

Characterization of Crater Morphologies on Asteroid Bennu
22EXPOSIBC
The interior structure and surface morphology of asteroids reflect the net result of processes contributing to their formation
and subsequent evolution. We will conduct geophysical studies using data returned by the OSIRIS REx mission to asteroid
Bennu, a small near-Earth asteroid ~500m across, focusing on the surface morphology of craters. We will investigate whether
crater interiors display different properties compared with their exteriors and whether there is any dependence of these
properties on spatial location and/or crater diameter to inform how craters probe the subsurface structure of Bennu

Geochemical Characterization of Asteroid Bennu
22EXPORUBC
The OSIRIS-REx mission will return a sample from asteroid Bennu. The analysis of this sample will help determine this
asteroid’s history. This mission will enable detailed and coordinated laboratory analyses of asteroid material on samples from
asteroid 101955 Bennu that have known and well-characterized geological contexts. This research will use the Pacific Center
for Isotope and Geochemical Research at UBC to measure the bulk elemental abundances in the returned asteroid sample.
Based on the information from the spacecraft encounter, we expect that Bennu’s bulk elemental composition reflects that of
its parent asteroid and is similar to the composition of the Sun.

Unmixing the spectral variations of the south polar region to retrieve its composition, volatile content, sources and modification processes
22EXPVIPER
Orbital remote sensing observations have provided invaluable pieces of information to build our knowledge of the composition and processes occurring in the lunar polar regions. For example, these missions have allowed to confirm the presence of cold traps and regions in topographic lows which never receive direct sunlight and confirm the presence of water ice. The VIPER rover mission will provide critical and localized observations to better interpret the orbital remote sensing observations. Here we propose to use observations from VIPER to study the local mineralogy, volatile content, and space weathering, and compare them with regional information from orbital measurements.
