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.

Deep Space Food - Developing a Waste-Free and Sustainable Circular Food System Using Insects and Micro-Algae
22IUCCAR22
A primary goal of the project is to increase insect farm yield and to determine how to best manipulate diet content (Entomo-Alliance Project Objective 1) and environmental context (Entomo-Alliance Project Objective 2) to improve rearing facilities and practices and testing these findings at the cricket farm (Entomo-Alliance Project Objective 3). With support from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), additional personnel will be added to these ongoing projects to build a sustainable circular food system (CSA funded project Objective 1). Circular food systems and colony monitoring will be essential components of future deep space travel, and this project will help place Canadian industry and academics at the global forefront of discovery in deep space food production.

The Western Skylark: a 3U CubeSat for next-generation tracking of migratory wildlife using the Motus and ICARUS telemetry systems (3U)
22CUBUWO16
The Western Skylark CubeSat will provide space-based data collection for both Motus and ICARUS to give near real time capabilities to the data flow from these systems. This project will demonstrate the full potential of these two systems while collecting novel data on migratory songbirds, waterbirds, and shorebirds.
